Always appreciate your input Mike.

SUPER excited to see more progress on the Caddy.

I saw a badass Impala SS at The Super Chevy Show back around '07ish at Pomona that was fully caged, ran 9 sec 1/4's then grabbed his buddies from the starting line off the return lane in the back seat before heading back to the pits. I've had a huge respect for a really fast 4 seat car ever since.
I can't wait to do the same with the caddy.

@monkeyswrench Kev, I believe they program a monentary stutter into the electronic ignition, or fuel systems on newer FI stuff. On carb setups, we had a microswitch on one of the dominator primary throttle shafts to work similarly like a Merc Alpha drive set up on the shift linkage bracket. This was not ideal, but better than crash boxes (especially when docking) due blower surge and monster cams. JMO

This is for cone clutch drives, if you are running a hydraulic transmission you don't have to worry about doing a torque cut, in fact it's usually the opposite with BIG ho stuff, you have to anticipate the oncoming massive load and get ahead of it with a torque increase to prevent stalls. Those transmissions are basically bulletproof.
