i love shifting as well manual valve body

 

does anybody know what a clutch is ??

 

a clutch is the useless peice of material that folds under aftermarket pressure. something that slows shifting down and leaves more room for driver error.


i.e. a hole that you throw money at continually.

now that we cleared that up does anyone know what a stall converter is?

 

Really think that auto is something special, huh?

Sorry, I don't want to drive around with either a tranny that is strong without overdrive with a huge stall or a weak aod that could break. The only aod's that don't break with 400-500hp are lentech's and other solidly build ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) ones.

5spd is way more streetable hands down and a whole lot more fun to drive on a daily basis.

 

yes i do.

bullshit my art carr will handle 800hp just fine.

i agree but try to manually shift a car with some power then do it with a nice AOD or C4 then you will see the light grasshopper. i was a hard core clutch guy not to long ago either then i got some power lunched a few t-5's,a brand new spec clutch, and broke a bell housing straight down the middle shot my starter down ulmerton and shredded my back tires fron the debris. so you can say i have been informed of my options and choose the best one.

 

Well, I just purchased a Dave Piercey built t5 with tremec gears for $700 with a king cobra clutch so it should be sufficient for what I want to do (high 10s low 11s) and at that speed an auto will not be faster if you have a good/great driver behind the wheel.

How much did that aod cost you? I had the option to buy a c4, manual valve body, 3500 stall, etc, but I didn't want to cruise around at 2500rpms at 45mph. The auto would cost me so fucking much more money it wasn't and probably won't be an option for a long time, unless I decide to make this a race car.

How long have you had this auto, how often do you drive it?

 

the AOD cost me $1000 and my t-5 stuff it came from blue oval with a fresh rebuild. it has a reverse manual valve body, a trans. brake, overdrive still works hardened one peice input shaft and a 4200 stall. and i will never need to buy another transmission what a deal. i have a '66 stang and a '91 like a 'tard they are both my drivers i drive one when the other is broke.

 

incorrect.

 

We'll see about that.

$1000 for the tranny when you gave him $500 worth of stuff, and I'm assuming you put it all in yourself, but I wouldn't. So it would have costed me around $2,000 to do what you did. If I had that money, I would have bought a tko 600.

 

how the only way to convince you i am right is to make a pass in either car then swap trannies and make another pass. so trial and error will do to you what it did to me and when you get serious about consitent performance all i ask is you shoot me a pm and tell me i was right.

yes me and rubberneck's crazy ass did the work i couldn't have done it with out him. i love to shift but i also love to go fast one out weighs the other and i went with an auto that i have to shift.
