With my 98 5.2 5spd (NV3500), I was shifting in the 60 to run a 9.2 in the
1/8. Hitting redline in 3rd coming thru the traps. And way too many missed
shifts due to the clunky factory shifter (before Hurst came out).

Rich, what TonyC said.
I was pretty amazed at the takeoff with all that power
underhood....like he was shot out of a cannon. No
doubt in my mind an auto definately rules on the 1320.
I would hate to try to row that fast. ;)
