I can already tell that the check engine light is gonna get on my nerves. I have been studying the ecu wiring diagram trying the see if there is a way to trick the ecu to think it still has an auto tranny. Hopefully I can come up with something. I don't wanna trade my auto ECU since it is a JWT ECU. Also, first gear is useless in this cold weather, it has only hooked up one time so far when I get on it. Car is definately faster.

Mine is just the 7k redline, but it still pulls great.

I am a pretty good 5spd driver even though I have never owned one, I have driven plenty. I will have a hard time driving it at the track the first few times, I don't think I will miss any gears, but I have a hard time getting the gas and clutch just right after a fast shift. I bet I will be very inconsistent.

I can't wait to go to the track though.

Us ****** do that..

Good to know you like it.

I'll be looking for numbers, sorry can't hook up saturday

Just wait till you punch from a roll at 4000rpms in 2nd on any sort of halfway damp surface and the tires start spinning wildly. I don't know how times I've been on entrance ramps and punching it 2nd and had the tach jump to 6000+ immediately and tires spin on a surface that appeared to be dry.

I just got a call from Matt as he was getting done at the dyno. Same dyno so he could compare the auto runs to the 5-speed pulls.
Pretty interesting numbers...I'm sure he'll post about it later.
