	Not having the ABS sensors will be a factor and has helped 3800 swaps.
This was resolved by making 2 axel shafts out of 1 to have the reluctor
Ring on the CV boot.  
	The management systems of these engines torque limits at launch to alow
these front drive high power cars to be driveable in all weather conditions
and the axel speed inputs may not fully clear the problem.  
	The Northstar may act as a completely different engine if you can convince
it to run on a ZR1 Corvette ECM. (This may be more work than is worth,  too
$$$, parts hard to find.)
	Does your engine proform well after what would be a reasonable launch and
hook up in the stock car?
