I am cautiously curious. Cautious? Because the vehicle I would be tempted to introduce this technology to is a 1973 Mach 1 with a transplanted 351W (replacing the original 302 2v) that was moderately built for Street/Strip performance. With 360HP on a dyno it has plenty of power for spirited driving. The prior owner also replaced the 2.79:1 rear axle gears with a 3.50:1 TractionLok gear set. And the other year we replaced the original C4, which began to show signs of slipping after barking rubber a few times more than it liked on its WOT 1-2 upshifts. The replacement tranny is a transplanted AOD that turned a snappy performer into a wonderful cruising machine at highway speeds(+), while retaining is low end performance - best of both worlds. The Mach 1 is well balanced in its handling and performance, and I hate to monkey with it now that it is running like I feel it ought to.

Anyway, I hope to see some posts in the future from folks who have installed this solution into their vehicles.

[QUOTE="mrgmhale, post: 440413, member: 7171"] I am cautiously curious. Cautious?
