Personally I prefer more "go" without much perceivable "show". That is why I went with a T-5 transmission behind a completely rebuilt 235. Those extra gears have a phenomenal impact on what you can do with these old trucks. Every time you shift gears, you are in the middle of the power curve of the 235. No lugging, no screaming RPM.
