    I wouldn't go with a slushbox. Very inefficient.

    It's simple, slushboxes aren't efficient. They're ok maybe for playing in the mud, but anything other then that, a regular transmission or autoshift is fantastic.

    two more options: heavy duty drive line and dual smoke stacks...does it make sense to pay extra for either of these options?

    Another driver told me getting heavy duty Spicer drive line makes no sense with a Super 40 rear end...says it puts the pressure to break on the rear end...
