    Use the 5-speed(or maybe even a close-ratio 6-speed??), ittl save on gas and is better with any nitrous. With the automatic, the second the juice kicks, the torque converter is gonna slip a little, and slip alot when just driving it which wastes gas, which a good clutch wont do. Plus the stick's alot more fun to drive and quite the theft deterrent. Well, in my area anyways.

    It's only a truck if it's workin it's ass off. Anything else is just a car with a box on the back. I know my C10 aint gonna be pampered. If ittl move, I'll keep driving it...


    If the motor aint greasy and the rears still have new tire shine on the tread lugs, it's a trailer queen. Let 'em run WFOT!
