I'm looking for opinions of owners who have experience with either choice.
The engine will be a 427 in the 550 hp range.
Thanks for your comments.

The guys that told you to run the 4 speed will be the ones that drive by you on the free way at 75 mph at 2300 rpm laffing at you, while your doing the same but at 3000 rpm.The 5 speed is the way you want to go, but if you want to be original then what ever floats your boat, but either way have fun in your new build. |
