put the 1400 towards performance |
errr.. I'd just stick with the automatic transmission... its not that bad.
|
actually automatic is worthless for a v6 unless u do some serious mods (i.e. s/c, heads, cams, etc...)
thats why i stopped puttin performance on mine for right now and just do apearance...until when i am like out of college with a nice job then drop a new engine in there unless i buy a cobra |
what's wrong with auto if you get a tune?
also, most surgeons won't do a tranny swap, so you're lucky. |
lol i have a tune...its an auto v6...it still does not have the throttle response of a stick it always has to downshift when u push it and that takes a second...
lol im not bashin on autos considering i have one but i made a huge mistake not buying a stick...and buying a v6 but thats a dif story |
Well one, I didn't plan on beating to **** my car so thats why I didn't buy a stick. Two, I don't mind having a V6 or an AUTO because I can still beat 3/4ths of the cars out there. Three, I didn't have a choice. :wallbash:
|
lol im with u... i had no choice for the V6 part...and my mom wanted me to have a stick but my dad was like NO... :bash: :foot:

Theres nothing wrong with the auto man, its actually probably stronger than the tranny you are wanting to put in. Have Justin at VMP "jerry" mod your valve body, get a good convertor (ive heard good things about the B&M holeshot convertors, especially with the spray, spike can vouch, he had one) and top if off with a nice big B&M cooler and that automatic will not let you down.
Summit racing sells the convertor for around 500 bucks, your trans is a 4r70w. Summit also sells the coolers. Justin can be contacted at www.vmptuning.com for the jerry's mod. If you have any other questions hit me up. |
Knife is right and the B&M holeshot is bad @$$. You can make a automatic good you just have to wanna put the effort into it. If you put the time and money into it you will out perform a stick, atleast on the 1/4 mile.
|
throw in a reverse manual valve body and its game over on the road course too.
|
put that 1400 bucks into your transmission. youll have a beast auto, no sticks will come close to you
