With 4.10's in both A/T and M/T, the M/T has more Ground Torque, or Power-to-the-ground than the A/T in EVERY gear. The A/T is made for mileage and sacrifices power, while the M/T is made for power and sacrifices mileage.
Power and acceleration are not interchangeable words. Anyway, at this point I, like others, will bow out rather than be drawn further in.

@slow_frs E85 with full bolt ons will get you around 200whp depending on which headers you choose. Swapping in a lower FD will give you arguably more usable ratios, accelerate harder in many instances and feel more powerful.
