Auto Or Manual

[chappy]

I am unsure which way to go so I though fark it try a poll.

I am in the process of reasonible modifying my LS1 and I am trying to choose weather to leave the Auto and get a 3000rpm stall fitted of get it changed to a 6 Speed manual.

The Gear ratio is 3.73:1

Lets see how the vote goes.

Get the trans tuned to shift faster and harder especially if its stock, the difference will be like day and night.
You wont get a manual shifting any faster and consistently.

lol 3000 stally? Unless you are putting out serious power, what is the point? I find it hilarious when i see guys driving around with huge stalls and loud exhausts only to have the car go not much faster than a stocky.

Take ringrams advice bud

Converting to manual would be a big and expenisve job and unless you're circuit racing or something like that, won't give you any real benefit.

Get the auto's shift points reprogrammed and remove torque limiting on gear changes and I promise you won't be disappointed. Look at a 3000rpm stall only once you've exhausted easy bolt-on options (extractors, exhaust, air filter, tune....cam?)

Depending on what you call serious power I suppose.

The tunner says we should be looking between 280rwks and 300rwkw I have to believe him and he is the guy who said I will need a 3000rpm converter and him being the mechanic I once again have to believe him.

With the cam, heads and a few other mods and the cost of the job I sure hope he is right.

cheers

I am at 340rwkw, no need for a stall with 3.7's.
