Soooooooo much better. When you hear guys say " the best mod ive done" they arent kidding. Shifts much smoother. Tighter gear ratio, quiet and overdrive is perfect with 3:42s and 225/75/15 or a 27" tall tire. 1st gear is identical and it just shifts better and quicker through all gears. I didnt have time to finish the trans x box so I dont have a speedo but can tell that freeway speeds are much higher and easier to get to. I would say 5th geat holds 65 really well with just tip in throttle. Once the speedo is up and running im going to see how efficient the single toilet carb is with a 5 speed. Ran all over the county and burned a half tank. Stopped home for a shower and off to Sonic
