Going L10 In 1 Month
Ok... I am having Level10 rebuild my transmission in 1 month... I am hoping they don't **** it up like they did a few others.
If all goes well I will enjoy the newfound speed

Im still afraid of this mod. Like I said before, I tried a Valve Body modification on my Stang, before I did a 5 speed swap, and I blew the tranny in 2 months. It was directly attributed to the MOD. I would hate to see how much a new Auto will cost to replace, all for .1 gain...

Don't forget the racing stripes! And make sure its two fat white ones right down the middle. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, find some pictures of the superfast Dodge Neon R/T.

Actually, if anything the transmission rebuild (toughening) will help Melteye in the long run. I don't know how good Nissan made our auto tranny's but i'm sure once more power is introduced into the picture that transmission may not be able to handle it.
Melteye, are you also going for a beefed up torque converter?

I'm automatic, N/A, no juice, no boost.
How do I keep up ?

After what I have been told by pros not people on here, I'd suggest staying away...Go custom like I did, find a good pro that does that kind of stuff in your area to help you do somthing kewl, and cheaper overall or more bang for the buck however you wanna look at it.

Simply stated, I make as much power as a 2k2 6spd @ wheels from a 3.0 motor. That's all that needs to be known. Minor motor work on bottom end, heads, and fuel system, are the basics. I have gutted my factory exhaust set up of all pre-cats, which required cutting my factory "front pipe" open, and re-welding the piece back together. I am using a RT 2.5" Cat in compliance w/ smog regulations, the entire exhaust system is 2.5" SS, using factory Mid Pipe dimensions, and rear section dimensions. The muffler system has a flange so I can unbolt my factory muffler, and bolt up a free flow muffler which can be used on factory hangers.
The big difference is Programmable ECU, which I am still testing and tuning, at the current time, due to traffic court coming up, and my acquital in criminal court,(Plus Attorneys Fees) I will hold off on full development and post up pricing for those interested in VQ30DE A32 and A33 Platform Programmable ECUs, shortly, once I am 100% sure of its compatibility.

Honestly after punching out the two precats, and minor grinding/polishing, my car was more responsive, and had more power than my Cattman Y-Pipe, scary as it is, this modification alone, got me to stay w/ a 14.9 5spd Maxima all the way up to 90mph in a street race, before he'd haul on me by 75 or so. I got a cat, since I don't need legal trouble, as for motor mods, I blew it up playing w/ boost, so the rebuild, made it somewhat better, experimented w/ a few items, did some searching on the .org, and got a few things done in the process. The ECU definitely made the night and day difference. Even at start up, in a garage, the car has a different sound as you crack the throttle, @ WOT w/a custom air intake made of sheetmetal, the cabin becomes deafening, once the race pipe goes on the rear, the sound is unreal, intake screaming + exhaust singing, makes my experience all the better.
Trying to get one for Kev to test on Boosted apps for 5th gens. Currently in the process of test for boosted 4th gen + N/A 4th Gen.
Hopefully by mid summer, wrap up everything, and get a nice GD.

Will getting this L10 tranny eliminate the annoying lag that is common to autos? I'm sure you guys know what I mean. Let say you're cruising along around 20-40mph, then decide to stomp on the gas to pass someone, you stomp on the gas, but the tranny doesn't downshift. It just stay in the higher gear. It's very annoying IMO. That's the only thing I really hate about the auto, it's the lag/confusion of the auto tranny.

That's funny.....I've never had a 6 speed catch me :P, come to think of it, I've never seen a 5 speed catch me either.
