Mopar noob
Ok guys I need some expert input. I currently have a 340 with a 727 and 391 rear gears. Right now I feel like my car isn't very useful since I can't really put it on the highway without feeling like I'm bleeding the life out of it. So I am converting to a manual. I've made up my mind! I've been set on a 5 speed Tremek. The thing is it seems like the cheapest I've found is around $5,500. That's a big chunk of change for a car I paid $6k for. I think I can do a 4 speed for about half the price. So my question is, is 1 gear really worth that much? How much of a difference would it make vs the 5 speed? Would the 4 speed be a big improvement over the 3 speed or do I really need a 5 speed to be able to put it on the highway? Thanks guys.
