7747 spd limit first, trip timers next?

[Mike Rolica]

Must bee nice!  I can't get traction on dry pavement in 2wd or 4wd with an
auburn diff in the front and back.  Some times slide completely left, right
or good doughnuts.  Snow or wet pavement is even worse! Especially with the
instant 400 ft-lbs. when the 2800 stall kicks in.... no brakes needed...
just punch her ½ or all the way down and hold on!

BTW hope I get the slp runners and intake with the 58mm throttle body for
Christmas!.... wanna get up past 450hp and 475ft-lbs!

	What's really a pain is having AWD and trying to spin em!
	Though it was slightly damp one morning, the Explorer was running
well (5.0 
	V8, open exhaust... on the way to the muffler shop!) and I
powerbraked it 
	off the line just to see what happens...
	Got 4 tires spinning and by the time I hit the other side of the 
	intersection, I was at a 45 degree angle to the road...  Guy behind
me in 
	the Impala SS followed me to the muffler shop and wanted to know
what big 
	block I squeezed in to it...  Thought he was gonna die when he saw a
302 
	(Factory stock!)
