<< Apples and oranges Bill...Take all the things you've done to your truck
(NOS)
and put the EXACT same goodies >>
No NOS, only use it on special occasions. Pretty much same set ups with the
ones I have run against, except I have the club cab and all those were short
boxes. They all claimed 3.91 gears, some afetrmarket exhuast (cat back) most
if not all MP sbec, all were newer than mine? Now I was only running low
15's. There really was nothing special diferent other than club cab mine and
5 sp theirs. And this was before shift kit, didn't get that in til late. And
there was a 96 SB 2WD Auto with KN open element, Mopar Performance exhaust,
pulleys and Magnum Per throttle body whooopin em also. I'll grant you that I
F you could get everything perfect (take off, all shifts) on identical trucks
the 5 sp may have an advantage. I absolutely would not want a 5 sp with NOS,
one missed shift and bye bye hood. There are definitely advantages to both
but I do not believe the auto is a dis-advantage and certainly not 50 HP
worth.. I had my butt kicked by another automatic the first 2 weeks I went up
but a lot of that was that nobody told me to go on the last yellow, I was
waiting for the green light, you know 1.21 reaction times, cool uh. And I
been had outa the hole occasionally but catch em at the big end. The guy with
the 96 said that is the difference in the 93 230 HP and 3" cat VS 94 and
newer 220 HP and 2 1/2 Cat, newer has more low end power 93 has more high end
power. I always ended up with higher mph than they did also ???

PS Hey Kuk did you sell your truck yet? How is the GS coming?
