Won a couple of close ones like that..

although I wouldn't recommend a steady diet of this...tends to balloon the converter..

The M40 is a tough piece. My CY is good for shifts well over 6K in stock configuration.

I've driven bone stock CW trans'd Deuces that shift north of 6k - every time!

Put a powerglide in it! Or better yet a Jerico!
