Automatics are always faster in the 1/4 than any stick, a long as they're in good condition and don't slip. No way anyone could shift a stick and not lose some tiny bit of time. Don't know much about your tire choice, but some sort of street legal drag radial would alway do better in the 1/4 than a strictly street tire. Of course you could just buy some slicks and spare wheels to put on at the drags; that's what I did on my Camaro.

The manual kit in my Camaro is a Transgo. It was very easy to intall. Not familiar with Turbo Action, but have heard good things about Hughes. The Hughes manual reprogramming kit is only $114. at Summit:Hughes Performance HP3206 - Hughes Performance Valve Body Reprogramming Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Not sure what "prn321" means?

yeah had that engine professionally built by sprint car racer,never expected it to make that much horse especially with only 9.5 to 1 compression.but my pistons are custom made by mahel.they are super light and only maybe 3 inches tall.my engine is also internally balanced like a 350,by looking no one can tell its 436 cu inches.has two freeze plugs in each side too
