I know a guy that busted third with a promotion transmission this last weekend. It was an 8.30 car. It really should have been a 7.0 car but, he went with the wrong cam.

I'm not planning on dragging the car. Its going to be strictly a secondary vehicle/weekend warrior so it wont see any high RPM launches. I'm sure it will see SOME higher RPM shifts though. A WC will hold that right?

I was going to reply TKO but if you are not going to use the power, shift accordingly and run it on normal tires. A T5 will probably survive.
