    I jus changed over to a C4 from a toploader mate.. I've got a 393ci 600hp n wouldn't be real cruiser friendly with a manual - depends what u like I guess but with big cam n horsepower I def think auto.. took me ages to change over

    500HP and a cruiser...!!  I'd go the beefed up C4.
     
    500HP and hillclimbs...!! I'd go the top loader, with new linkages.
     
    Sorry, thats of no help at all.

    Being a manual guy, it would be the loader for me. Hill climbs will be more fun rowing the gears yourself. True they can be a bit of a tractor box but a lot of that is down to what shifter you use and keeping the linkages adjusted and lubed properly.
     
    An old trick that I was told years ago is you drill a few tiny holes all around the friction surface on the syncros to help get the oil out, helps speed up shifts.

    Saw brambles red on a XC GXL from factory years ago. 
    I had to respray the bonnet for the owner. 
    3 different brambles red from my knowledge so make sure you get the
    correct colour for your car.
