I run a Goerend in mine and love it. If your only looking for 300-350 HP hughes makes a cheaper one.

take it to the scrap yard and buy a 2nd gen 6 speed with a south bend clutch and get some pedals off ebay nothing beats the sound of a manual 12v everything beats a dodge auto cause its realy easy to beat sombody thats on the side of the road

Bobby, I ran the quarter in 12.87 Friday the 27th down at Coastal Plains (fuel only with the original 12mm VE). 60' of 1.7 (@ 6400lbs).

@ 1993firstgennewbie: That's with the original non lock-up A518 with a few internal mods and a Suncoast converter.
