I've had Tacoclaw as my name forever, long before 1stgen. I'm actually surprised I've got it as many places as I do, it's a good name IMO.

Dazed, I have to put the vid on my computer, them load it to YT. It's still worth the hassle to not have to deal with a PB link and all their what?.

Isn't it time to change the title again? How about, "I got blown!"? :lol:

Sooooo, somewhat serious question.

Do you guys read into dyno numbers more or 1/4 mile calculations? I was honestly thinking of throwing the 727 back in with a VB and my 1200 stall converter and driving up for some legit times sometime. It wouldn't stay obviously, but the 'rag and the rest of my drivetrain just can't take the launches. Convert the #'s, which can't be finagled like a dyno, then throw the 'rag back in and go back to DD.

Or put it on a dyno one day with the 'rag and not deal with it.

It'll probably get the auto anyway, I'm sick of my buddy's slow sthi beating me because I can't launch/shift. :lol:

1/4 mile? We've got an 1/8 about 15 minutes away, it's tough for me to want to swap everything for one. I'd still cruise down for it, I'd just leave it stick and take it easy. :lol:

Hmmmmmmm.....

I've never drag raced before, but a chance to meet THE Mrtacoclaw cannot be passed up. I may be game if I get a few irons out of the fire.

Andy, you'll be racing the dump truck, right? :lol:
