    why would you want to go trimatic? id go turbo for sure if you buliding it for a burnout car id go turbo 400 or if its still goin to be a daily id go turbo 700.
    Personly id keep the manual over a auto any day

    No, the VN computer will not run an ecotec engine.

    The VS manual computer and loom will be fine.

    my car is a 5ltr 2000model vs s3 ute ok it runs the same as a vt 5ltr in other words i have a air flow meter so i can not run a vn loom i have to run vs s3 or vt s1 i have found a vss sensor for the auto so i can plug this in were the manuel goes as these read back to the computer and the speedo runs off the computer this is why i have had so much trouble i have spoken to auto elecs and they have said i can run a manuel loom as long as i get the vss working
