Don't know what a GV costs in HP...

I would assume it costs something being, like you said, another trans. I doubt I'd notice in my 5000 lb sled if it did. And in thinking about it, I should probably check my mileage since I switched out my converter. Seems better around town but I know better than to check it anywhere but the highway. It would no doubt make me sick around town. Last time I checked it took 3 gallons to warm it up and go 20 blocks to the tavern and back. LOL
