2nd try? On the cheap friendly comp?

I think the asking was ok, the arguing about it gets old, on all sides. Hundreds of performance parts for each car. No way to cover each item, let alone argue the pro's and con's. Not a professional, prize winning race here. It has been no porting, factory heads, No big money top stuff carbs, they just really want simple, cheap, common upgrades. How many typical daily drivers do you see out there with Manual valve bodies?? A few pro street cars, right? I think they made it clear this is not a pro street contest. Remember, one option in the poll was "I don't get it, I'm out".

In my area in the late '80s/early '90s it was commonplace for any kind of "built" musclecar to have a manual valve body if it was automatic. We're talking 12, 11, 10 second street cars here. No one really considered it a "race only" part.

Now when you say Pro Street I think of back halved, full cage cars...which nowadays better do at least 8s or its a poser/show poodle.
