Im sure it's something to do with sales being low because of the new smart automatics.

Ya I could see that. My truck has an adaptive learning thing I found out. Sports cars are even switching to paddle shifting. Actually now that I said that I seen a guy on YouTube who had a diesel they set up with a paddle shifting system. I wanna say it was a cummins and it was first of its kind but wouldn't be surprised if that might be a thing in the future. Which for towing would be pretty cool in a lot of ways. Still not a real feel manual. My old 7.3 was a stop sign compared to the power and speed my 08 puts down but I loved the 6 speed.

Part of me wants to do valve springs, bump the limiter up and do a billet wheel s480 or 83 single with a 1.0 or 1.10 housing with a spool shot lol

I know at 5300 you get valve tap marks on your pistons lol. That's why rev limiters are important. Any more rpms and I'll definitely get springs

Sounds like a cool setup, I have nothing against autos either. Just to each there own. Glad to hear the allison broke new ground last weekend as well. There is something in this community for everyone.
