Driving a 5 speed for 3 days was a real eye opener for me. Much easier to control smoke and a laggy turbo by winding out the gears a bit! A completely different truck, IMO!

Well said RJ. I have a tight TC/stator from Goerend's and with a 64/14 it is much slower to spool up and when the TC locks in OD it can belch some black if I'm under revved (sp). More often I manually hit the OD so I can control the smoke. It's fun when I can let it all hang out but requires some finese for daily driving to keep the temps in control.
