Guys, With the goodyear bias ply slicks, the car hooks up fine above 40 mph on a road course so traction is not an issue or a problem.This too much power thing, I don't agree with not from a traction stand point. From a too much car for the driver or parts eating standpoint, I could agree. I am not going to detune the motor. John, your richmond is stronger than a tremec but I have driven 2 richmond cars and they would not shift fast at all. Up or down, the tremec shifts fast. I think, as you guys have stated, its the power that does it. Cranky, the best part so far, knock on wood, is, as much as I have thrashed this car, the motor has had zero problems. The cup style motor and a pro builder is the way to go, if you want the motor to last. I do appreciate your thoughtfull as always big block suggestion. scott
