It's comments like these that make me think of the term "Opinions are
like a**holes, everybody has one." Maybe you guys should ask Karl
(headers, ignition, slicks, cool-ass exhaust, AUTOMATIC, and
God-knows-what-else") how he did last weekend against, ahem, Andre
and Alan (sans MSD) with MANUAL transmissions. If I recall correctly
(and I do) Andre was pulling 14.8's with his 3.90's and Alan was
ripping off consistent 15.2's and even dipped down to 15.1; I've
personally seen this truck run 14.8's with the MSD installed, and
all this with 3.21 gears and a MANUAL trans. Say, Bill, what'll you
auto run without the juice?
