For me it's about the mpg for daily driving. My charger gets 7mpg with a slobbery cam. Fury gets 10-11. 5.7 + oem 5spd should be 15+mpg commuting. Plus I'm used to many gears now. Plus it's a fun engineering project.

so what do you do with that clunky mercedes shifter? looks like it would be hard to cut down to fit into a stock console.....i am leaning toward a 46HD where you can use the stock shifter and console-----with this much power i cant see the need for a 6 or 8 speed unless its is just to brag about all the gears and how cool it is......... Any cable shifter would work with the right gate, just a lever like a 727 and no kick down lever, works off vacuum. Hot rod ingenuity will be required. I wouldn't even bother if it didn't have overdrive in 4th or 5th. Waste of time.

A 4something:1 1st with good progressions to a 1:1 5th would make a 2.76 diff pretty sporty. Kevin

On the tunnel mod, I raised it appx 3/4". If I had it to do over i would have cut the long side on the passenger side and the top and bottom ends and simply rolled the "lid" up and patch back in the gap. As for mileage, I get very consistent 18 around town and have had as much as 25mpg when I am "forced" to maintain posted speed limits! Also ran the GTX on the 1/4 mile last week. First run EVER in that car and I ran a 14.07. A few more runs and get my light timing down and it will be in the high 13's. Weight is 3700 lbs exactly with 53% front and 47% rear. Russell is great!
