Auto to 5 speed conv.

Happy New Year to everybody. My question is for the people that did the 5-speed conversion. Basically, I want to know if they noticed a major difference in the performance of the car in comparision to the price of the swap. I am considering doing it but have not decided if it is worth the sprice. Any help would be appreciated. Peace.

Well, I paid about $1200 when it was all said and done.

It was well worth it.....

It's hard to describe, but the 5spd drives 10x better. Alot more torque in the midrange and also I am able to pick my shift points. With the SC, that's a huge bonus (I can stay upwards of 5PSI of boost all the way from 2nd-5th Gear on a top speed run if I shift right)
