lol, I just see it as when It comes to going REAL fast, a stick can be a pain in the ass as far as getting a clutch that will work, and driving it right.

I never have enough seat time in my car to get the shifting REAL quick. I think I shift fast for some good ol' foot off the pedal between shifts, kinda deal, but I have NEVER, not once, power shifted a car. so I don't have much skill.


I would love to have a fast car with a good stick transmission, and just talk shit, but when it comes to a turbo, which is the ultimate goal, your going to go MUCH faster with a auto, period.


c6's are 3 speeds?!?! really?!?! im dumbfounded, ive always been told they are OD transmissions.

Yea, I agree with that, the guy I bought my motor off of is in the process of building a twin turbo 2200 hp notch and he's going with a Lenko. His team out here in Phoenix has some sick cars some sub 8 seconds...I just like shifting through the gears is all. And like I said my car (in the near future) won't be dipping below the 10's.

well I have seen plenty of 10 second cars just eatting clutch's over and over, so Ive kinda got that mindset that it will happen to me is all.

Sure there are ways around it, but it seems kinda silly.


only time will tell. I won't be getting rid of my Cobra T5 until it implodes.

It's way to hard to get a clutch to work in a big horsepower application. Especially if you want to drive the car on the street. The biggest thing with an auto is consistency.

exactly. and with a turbo there is no real other way, you would have to powershift like a pro to keep the turbo spooled up.

I would be over there pissin' out flames, or with a garden hose even. hope everything works out.






BTW. my Victor 5.0 EFI intake came a day early. Its so damn nice compared to my typhoon. The Typhoon is all I've ever known, as it came on my car, and I've just worked with it up until now.

the victor is obviously much much higher quality, and just the size of the runners had be kinda shocked.

Also the way the runners are in the lower intake, the gap between the bottom part and the runers, and the way the lower has that extra bit of metal to act as a vally oil windage tray or what ever its called.

UGH SO SEXY, wanna jizz all over it


can't wait to get it on the car, and see what it nets me. hopefully atleast 2 tenths.

will post pics comparing the victor, and typhoon just for giggles. I wanna measure the runners too, and see the difference in size

ugh, I know so awesome

looks like this intake is one of the only ones for EFI that leaves that space between the block and the runners, the "air gap". Wonder if it really does shit?

It will be nice to have if I put a second kit on the car, can run the direct port kit, and put the silinoids under there, or some trick shit.

I loves it.


between the air gap, and the little windage type tray thing, I wonder if that does cause any gains, say over a trickflow R that is compareable in the air it moves, but it doesn't have thouse two fetures.
