Don't know ..That's why I said use wb maybe.
Have to look at the common cars out there..
Maybe under 108 , as is
108 -114 take out 50 lbs.
115 or more, (Tri Five Chevies) take out 100.

If you look at S/SS cars..ET's as good or better with automatics.
MPH usually higher with stick shifts... Simple physics there..although high rpm motors can couple a converter up more, but not 100%...unless of course you allow lock up converters LOL
