Auto vs Stick

In addition to overall combination, some automatics are more efficent than others. In my bracket car, with a mild 428FE Ford engine, and a fairly good C6 (low drag Torrington bearings thru out, Art Carr trans brake, 8" converter etc) the best the car went with the C6 was 10.55ET @126 MPH. With no other changes, other than replacing the C6 with a 4 speed Jerico & McLeod Soft Lok clutch, the car has gone a best of 10.03@132mph.
