this isn't my first car;;been building my own cars for 30+ years.i do everything myself.build eng./chassis/fab work/paint /interior/nothing gets hired out.BUT i do listen to others that has already been there or has tried something and it work or didn't work..saves a lot of money and time if you can find someone that has already tried something you are fixing to try and they tell you it didn't work then you just stop from making same mistake they did so you can apporch it another way.i'm sure there is someone out there that has close to same engine/trans/car weight as me that can tell me there best combo they found for there car was this or that.being on disabilty and building a car as a hobby i can't go out there and buy 3 or 4 sets of gears and matching converters just to find the right combo.not looking for a perfect combition first time.just a good middle area to get me togeather.not racing for a living so doesn't matter if car is a few hundreds sec. slower then if i was to spend another $1500.00 for differant gears and converter then i'd be a few hundreds sec faster.i'm building a car to have fun with not to make me homeless becaus i loose a race
