    Watch out with those high stall speeds, alot of guys have problems keeping their transmissions cool trying to drive something like that on the street.

    I have a pretty big trans cooler already, and I'm actually thinking of doing a second one with a dedicated fan. We'll see what all I get to this winter. I'm going to have a busy one.

    Has he done anything to it since?
