who in their right mind would neutral drop a trans? That is bad bad news to an auto trans.

but the problem with power breaking is you put a lot of strain on the brakes, the axels, and the transmission so you will eventually damage one if not all of them

Best idea I've heard all thread.

You could change your tranny...but that's costly and if you diy...you have to be very careful, dilligent, and determined.

now which is cheaper, converting the car youve already put a crap load of work into, or buying another car and having to start all over ^_-

buy a Dr Evil transmission for the AV6. Those are extremely solid transmissions that can handle 500HP
