[ebml] C-4 Reverse/Manual Valve Body: Revisited

[Joe Lougee]

OK, so I finally got to spend some quality time with the buggy this 
morning and am very impressed with the way the Broader Performance 
http://www.broaderperformance.com/ manual/reverse valve body worked.  It 
was just like driving a manual tranny.  Stayed in gear with no issues, 
had great braking heading down hill, etc...

The big advantage to this vs. the Art Carr unit, the cost.  Jay sells 
them for $225.  Jay has a very good rep with the 'Stang crowd.

What I really did NOT like was the C-4 puking fluid and not engaging 
properly as soon as I stood it up on the exit from Carnage Canyon.  
Really PMO!

Ken, what were those tricks again?????  Anyone need a freshly rebuilt 
C-4?  I'm about ready to put the C-6 back in.
Joe
