Got a call today from my roommate back at tally. The big brown truck came a few days ago with my TC. I got him to open up the outter wrapping tonight and much to my displeasure they gave me a 3000 stall instead of 3200!!!!!!!
Damn them to hell. It took forever due to the damn GP and when I finally get it, they gave me the wrong one. I now have a few days to decide between sending it back for the right one, or looking into a T-56...or because of the damn law, look at a 5point.

Guess the 12's will have to wait a little longer

You WILL be slower if you get a M6 vs a vertered auto. You ever dyno your car? That 3k stall might be very well matched up with your torque curve. Call up Jon and ask for a ride... the manual idea will fly out the window very quickly :twisted:

I guess you wont experience 1.6x's short times with minimal mods. Start looking into a rear also ;)

LOL everyone that has a manual says to stay with the auto and the only other guy with an auto says go for the manual.

If quarter mile times are what you are after, then you better stick with the auto. Unless you have a hell of a cam, you better stick with the 3000 stall.

Well the reason I consider changing is because obviously the car isnt a big time drag car, and also look at how many times i go to the track. Maybe a handful a year.

I personally like rowing through the gears. I gives alot of satisfaction the auto just does not have, even if it is slower at the track.

Its a time bomb either way. I dont want to run slicks and break at the track and face a $300 tow home, when that $$$ can go to half my 9inch. Ran into some cash problems, so the rear is on hold with a deposit :mad:

30-40+ passes on a daily driver and its still strong now

its still there, and plenty capable of holding....unless you are crazy enough to turbo a 6.0L and stuff it into a reg cab truck, you should be ok;)
