The trick is to stuff 2 straws in the coffee lid's opening so coffee doesnt splash out. Plus you get the double barrel action for better coffee flow. Then once you beat someone, you can look over at them at the next light and calmly sip some coffee from your straw to let them you they just got beat one handed by an automatic.

Sadly, I went back to 3.73's. The 4.56's were the end all of performance but I would basically be riding around in OD all day, even in-town, starting at 35 mph. I decided that this is a street car primarily so I swapped back to my old gears to save the transmission. The 373's are certainly a world slower though.

would rather just spend a few hundred and run a manual valve body if it was me, i think a T-5 swap isnt worth it, a nice stall+valve body will most likely put you as fast or quicker than any t-5 from a holeshot and would be just as fun on the street and alot less work for your left foot, but its your money, spend it how you want it.
