I am pretty sure it does, I'm not sure about which clutch you would use as well as whether or not you need a 2.8 rear diff. The advantages are longer gearing, so you can hit over 60 in 2nd. I'm not sure if all the gears are longe rbut I know 1st and 2nd are.

Yeah.... and at 5k in third gear means he wasn't going 20mph behind a lil' ol' lady like he claims - unless he slipped it into 2nd while he was revving and the revs went up to 5k.

Yeah, to be at 5K at 20mph you are in 1st gear. Easy mistake to make, I guess?

what RPM where you at? if you were spinning 5k then what did you down shift from ? You might have been in second and slammed it into first.
