[V8] More Auto vs. Manual differences???

[Ron Wainwright]

235/45's is whats called for on tireracks web site.

 & yeah...my speedo was @ 80 & he said I was going 86.

 As far as the tach....it was reading correct. Since I
have so little to do I swapped out the IC into an Auto
V8 it read as it should have. It was just off a bit in
my 5sp V8.
