may have them a little cheaper. That's where my f-body friend is getting
his from. I don't really know how well these units will perform in the
Dakota's but the f-body crowd swears by them, even at $750.00 ....... >>
I'm not sure what the f-body is but Sean Melldrum said these are the hot
number in the Mustangs and he has seen the 1/2 second improvement with them.
I sent a e-mail with several questions I'll share the reply if I get one. One
concern is it is a 9.5 inch TC with a adapter plate, I doubt it will have the
lockup ? I read a article where with OD tranny's you turn such low rpm's at
cruise that with out lockup you would be slipping the TC excessively. I know
I run about 2300 at 70 and if the stall is 2800 your way under and would
probably get slippage ???? The other thought I had was how will the rest of
the driveline hold up un this extra torque and abuse ? Would I be better to
settle for a .3 at 1/2 the price and keep the rest of the drivetrain together
???? Decisions decisions :-)
