    What is a sure grip pumpkin worth..

    Whats would a sure grip pumpkin for an 8 3/4 be worth..i think I would be looking for any of these 3 ratios.. 2.76, 2.93, 3.23. Going for mileage but maybe the 2.76 would be too low ? Rather than changing the whole pumpkin, if I don't go sure grip, can I just change the gear set ? Thanks

    a727 lines

    I am just to the point where I am thinking about running the trans cooling lines. My main concerns are about making it work vs pretty. The exhaust is close to the 727 and the headers take up a bunch of room in the engine compartment. Bending a line to navigate that maze will be ugly. I have...
