Re: GSX Automatic
No, absolutely not. For a period of time the auto will be slower than a manual transmission, but after installing an aftermarket tranny and torque converter, the automatic DSMs can be faster than the manual ones.

Re: GSX Automatic
bah, it doesnt matter how many gears you have, its how they are set up. ive seen a ford farm truck with 3 on the tree run 11sec with a bale of hay still in the back.

Re: GSX Automatic
The number of gears matters for high hp low torque cars since they take advantage of those gears redlining in everyone of them. That truck ( I'm guessing was a turbo disael) probably puts down a massive amount of torque and can turn longer gears

Re: GSX Automatic

Re: GSX Automatic
its not a torque converter its a stall converter... it allows you to manage a higher rev without moving or stalling out.

Re: GSX Automatic
a torque converter is a stall converter

Re: GSX Automatic
an aftermarket torque converter gives you a higher stall along with not slipping as much. what does an aftermarket stall converter do?
go research!

Re: GSX Automatic
no it doesnt! torque converter multiplies torque, stall converter raises the RPM range before engaging!
go research! there is such thing as a high stall torque converter but a stall converter is not a torque converter!
