Engine mods? We don't need no stinkin' engine mods...LOL.
A stall converter will definately help, though.

My best guess is to do the stall converter. Should get you where you want to be and definitely test your driving ability.

It's a harwood 12202. Martel Bros. had the best price I could find. Here is a link:

A better rule of thumb is 100#=.1.

That's closer. I think it's actually a little more than that. When I took out about 400#, the car was at least .5sec faster because most of it comes off your short time.
