After many years of flying in from Indiana to watch the races, we decided to take the plunge and buy something to tow out there and run, initially plan to try 130 club and then who knows. Got vehicle for very little with Northstar engine full of oil that looks like a Wendy's Frosty. It goes straight, shifts good and gets hot very quickly. Plan is for a donor vehicle with a good motor (hopefully with head stud update) recalibrated computer with speed limiter removed, etc. Have done cursory research and would love to hear from anyone familiar with the 4T80 transaxle in regards to at some point making less electronic, or engine swapping down the road. Ours is an ESC model so 275 HP and 3.11 gear with .68 overdrive. I am always somewhat skeptical but I hear of pretty high speeds observed with computer mods. Any observations appreciated...will post some photos soon. thanks, Woz
