John Scott Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 Usually the standard is a little quicker due to more ratios, lighter, and less parasitic hp loss.This will also depend on the driver. With High stall converters, trans brakes etc, you can make one heck of a drag set up. Personally having run high stalls, shift kits etc, I'd prefer the stick for street driving and automatic for consistant drag racing. The standard will give you better milage. I got 25+ with my 700 with a .7 overdrive, but it is much heavier than a standard. The T5 isn't good for high hp motors, but plenty of them out there living in Camaros, Firebirds, and light weight Zs with moderate hp.
