I am going to use an auto in my hurricane (soon to be purchased). I know, what a weenie (medical reasons).
I am going to use a Rousch 427(351W bored) with 550HP and 535ft/lbs torque.
I will be mainly cruising and want decent off the line acceleration (as well as causing smoke-screens when desired).
Here are my wants and questions:
1- I want to be able to cruise at 65 at around 2200 RPMs.
2- Have good "streetability". (No motorboat sound yet real good accelleration)
3- I want to be able to manual shift most of the time. (If not all of the time).
4- Want to be able to downshift the auto in all gears. (if possible).
5- I will be using Yoko S/T 295/50/15 rears
6- What would be the best rear gear/tranny/torque converter combination.
7- What shifter would you recommend?
8- How hard are the Lentechs TV cables to get "right"?

Any help all you more experienced builders can be is appreciated.
