Good luck with your decision man!!

Hell... wish my truck's trans was working. Planning on pullin' it out this week or next. Lord knows what I'm gonna do to get the truck back on the street. I could really use it right now too.

There's been times I wanted to sell mine. My wife gets excited if the thought even crosses my mind. I never pull the trigger b/c there's always a need for it. Right now, I just get family to help whenever there's a desperate need. Fortunately, nothing major... yet.

Worthy Trans - $1800
Hi-stall TC - $500
Mild cam to work with your bolt-ons - $300
Look on your face when you trap a 12 sec ET @ 100+mph - PHUCKIN' PRICELESS!

Did I mention that could be you in a TRUCK?!!

Not to turn you away from f-bodies. I'm assuming you'd like to experience driving ANY vehicle down 1320 in 10 seconds. In that case, tune into Gearz on ESPN next Saturday. Watch Stacey David work on a V8-powered Miata. Two weeks from now, it should be running on it's own power. Stroked 302... 400+hp... 400+ft/lbs... Think that's powerful enough?
