Another reason to get a small block.

I get 24 mpg on the highway with my 0.63 overdrive T-5. I can pass almost anything on the road without shifting down to 4th gear. What I can't, I certainly can by downshifting. Those who say they will burn rubber if they floor it in 4th at 65 can just eat my dust as I walk away from them. I've always said, too much torque=too much tire smoke (and, apparently, too little fuel efficiency).

Cheers from Dugly
