I've been watching from the sidelines for quite a while now...

First, Jamie, THANK YOU for building it here!!!

I'm building my '68 Charger for the Silver State Classic and high speed is the name of the game. I need to be able to do up to 165mph sustained for 90 miles to be competitive in the 150 class. I've taken the '67 Charger and its 727 automatic to it's competitive max doing 140 in the 125 average class turning 5200 rpm. The 496 has more than enough power and safely turns over 7000, I just don't want to sustain over about 5500 average or have to really break 6000 for any reason. Your 5 speed is the answer to my problems. Quality is the absolute utmost proirity. The '68 is still a year or two away from needing a trans, so I'll continue to watch the progress and real-world results. I'm in line for one, just standing a little farther back until the car is ready.

Thank you again. Engineers/Machinists like me depend on people like you to keep the work here.
