Sorry, just saw this post...The perches were standard spring perches (not HD or fully boxed). I foot brake, bring RPM's to 2500 and the converter flashs to 5000 as soon as I hit the gas and take off.
I think I'm either going to do a Strange 60, or do the MO875 with a back brace...both are out of my budget...I need to get the 8 3/4 apart to see how bad it is inside. The MO875 will only be a good option if my pumpkin is still in good order....but I think I will probably just fork over the extra money to upgrade to a dana to make it bullet proof.:angry7:
