6spd manual vs. Automatic

[z28 boy]

Well a power shift is an awesome deal that i agree cause i love it when my car moves to the side when i am racing and its an a4. I asked my mechanic a while back whether he thought power shifting was good or not. He says that it is good if u don't over exagrate. In other words when ur wheels break loose u loose traction. so say u got the same cars an A4 and M6 if the A4 doesn't chirp the tires on the shift and the M6 does isn't the A4 actually gaining more distance since there was no loss in traction? See what i am saying?

I have no problem racing any of your friends, let me know I'm down

[z28 boy]

I have a Powershot digital Camera , I can try and make a clip, If Joe's down with it

I don't care... I'm not looking at this as such a big badass thing, it's more a science experient to see which does have the advantage. But your cars isn't stock, but for this to work, you need to be pretty dead even in terms of HP and TQ with a stock LS1, all I have is a intake lid.

[MarxZ/28]

niice, i wanna see this...

[FormulaLT1]

I hope you don't think I'm trying to act like a badass , I just love racing win or lose I still like the rush you get, but ofcourse winning is always better and I'll try my best. And Horsepower torque wise I would say yeah about even as my best time to date it was in 40 degree temp wise with slicks and I ran a 12.8 1/4 which is what a LS1 should run with those conditions

[Joseph1082]

LOl, I didn't mean you were a badass, I'd actually like to do it... just auto vs. manual. I was just sayin of coursed I'd be down, it's not such a big deal to me, like you said, win or lose, whatever.
But w/ 12.8 I think you will toast either way, I don't think a stock LS1 has ever hit 12.8. Would there be anyway to detune your car just a little, for the sake of the experiement... "auto vs. manual" after that we could race again w/ u at top performance and you could rip me whatever
I think you told me before but I forget what mods do you have?

[z28 boy]

12.8 on an lt1 damn fool what u runnin?

[FormulaLT1]

Hooker Long Tubes, IAT relocator, TB bypass, Airfoil , K&N CAI, Borla catback, 1LE Elbow , 3.73 rear gears, Insulated Intake from heat soak, 160 Thermostat with reprogrammed fans LT1_edit tuning and other stuff

[FormulaLT1]

Oh and a Accel ignition system

[FormulaLT1]

And the Transgo Shift kit and Corvette Servo,

[FormulaLT1]

The only 3 things I can do to detune is take airfoil off, won't hurt me much, retune my car back to stock with LT1_edit and not use my transmission perform button but thats about it

[Joseph1082]

You have a NICE lt1!!!
How bout also undoing the TB bypass as well. Just trying ot get you back up into low 13s.
Can you tell me a little more about lt1 edit and is there an ls1 edit?

[FormulaLT1]

The TB bypass iss sorta a pain in the A$$ to do and undo besides its on 6 horsepower difference. but here is the LT1 edit website and yes they LS1 edit too check it out http://www.carputing.com/ Oh and I also forgot to mention my LT4 KM & my descreened MAF . Also I have run a 12.8 but I have run low 13's too so I don't want to give you too much of an edge or else its not a competition its just come kick my a$$ contest
