I recently did some trading and wound up with a 91 model W250 intercooled A518 truck. Pump is unmolested aside from someone had loosened the AFC, tightened the pre-boost screw and rotated the stock pin to the deepest spot. All the other tamper proof caps are on the pump except for the pre boost screw. Its not fast, but not too slow. Id guess 16's.
What would an A518 hold without billet shafts? Is the input shaft about the same strength as a regular 47rh/re input shaft? I see some 727's that are close to stock as far as the transmission goes running good times so thats why I ask. If it would hold 13's with a moderate launch with just a
VB and Converter, it would be tempting.
Dont know what my path is for the truck yet. Was planning on selling it but now that i've spent some time on it, I find myself wanting to keep it...
