rel3rd - I think your missing the point here. I said in higher horsepower applications, the Automatic is the way to go, and your clearly making big power. There are advantages to an automatic when making big power that outweigh the disadvantages.

Were talking about mild to stock 5.0's with upgraded AODs (shift kit, converter, etc..) being equal to or better than a 5 speed. I say the 5 speed still has the edge, which is proven on the street and at the track) while others disagree with me.

By the way, your car is awesome. I dont know how your making that much power or running those times with that combination- you are the man!
