That'd be nice...considering I went against a newer Mustang with a Vortech tossed on and he trapped at 106....that'd be nice to be trapping that N/A.

Lemme ask ya something though...would the stall have any real negative effect on my gas mileage? I wouldnt think so, but....when I'm getting like 10-12 mpg city in my DAILY DRIVER, well, I need all the mileage I can get.
As goes for the m.p.g thing, you would be surprised! Get a Precision Industries converter and talk to them. They could set something up and tell you up front about the m.p.g. As goes for the transmission, yes they offer a manual valve body, but why. Take it from me, keep it as streetable as you can. Nothing better then putting it in the "d" and standing on it to a mid 12 sec. pass.
Then turn on the A/C on the way home. But what do I know?
