hat1324 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Allright, I have my Z, I have my motor, I have my turbo, I have my rear end, I have my radiator, and Im getting my IC.. Suspension is on the drawing board and now its time to finaly choose what to do.. I will have 600+WHP from my motor(turbocharged 351W) and as most of you swap guys know domestic trannys suck totaly when it comes to handeling tourque(stock anyway) and upgrading a transmission is about 2k.. I can go auto for WAYY less.. BUT if I switch to an auto I lose the ability to EVER do more then drag race. Cant Road race with a racheting auto(can you??) cant auto-X... I will BLOW UP T5's...

Guest Battle Pope Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 You can either just live with an auto, or drop 3k on a manual that will hold up. Unfortunately there's no real gray area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudypoochris Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 TKO600 for stick? i think thats the 600 lb ft one, man your going auto too bad. O well each to his own! BTW look into the top loader four, it should take 1200 lb/ft from what ive been reading (stick used on fairlane 500's and someother very heavy torquey cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id go four speed in a heartbeat! got links??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b__sosick Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 TRIPTRONIC DOO IT haha I don't think they make any tiptronic (auto, with the up and down shifter alt mode) that you could use. would be sweet, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil1934 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 4 speed Top loader, <$1000. Who cares if it's wound a little tight? I've had a couple vehicles with 4.11 and no OD. I was never a radio person anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 GO 5SPD I just drove my 5spd z for the first time and their is nothing quite as invigorating as the feeling you get from lurching back and forth from your car squatting from the throttle!
