Your gonna need a two step to leave the line on some boost. Id have just thrown the auto in with a converter and had at it.

Yeah I kept getting so many conflicting things about the 4r70w trans. Spoke with Len at lentech/Was set to order from Dirty dog but he had to many suggestion it became over whelming. Thought the 6speed would be easier for now. I really want a car to play with on the street and change some gears.... I know from past experience turbo and auto is the way to go. Had 3 turbo coupes, two were auto, 2 supercharged coupes both auto and 2 03 cobras both 6 speed. If I could get any of my street cars back it would be my 93 coupe. hahaha But thanks for the input

I'd keep the 4r70- and put a nice 3200 stall in it- can build some boost that way and the auto will hold boost nicely.

Looks like you have a good plan in place. I love this build. Should be a runner for sure.

This is awesome. Those are UNICORN prices man there is no way I could swing that. More like 15-17k for that stuff up here. All about who you know

Good to have friends who are always changing combo's! lol I hope this thing moves out pretty good. If not I'd didn't break the bank building it and If I sold it I fill I could net 10k out of it... I didn't take any short cuts on it... Just got a lot of Unicorn deals lol...
