Default M6 or Kilduff Machine Lightning Rods w/4l60E

Now before i start getting E-bashed!
I love shifting and wouldnt own an auto for a street car (at least i thought ) but.....

http://www.kilduffmachine.com/

Ive always wanted a Lenco and this something that could bridge that gap.
Now i own a WS6/M6 and i had planned to build the trans, but if i could just build an auto throw on that shifter, and still be able to shift thru the gears.
Seems like it might be as fun as an M6.

What do think?

Looks like a glorified auto shifter to me. If it doesn't have a clutch, it's still an automatic.

My .02.

I agree, its still an auto.
and a torque converter wont let you launch at diffrent rpms (minus swapping it out)... but you cant beat an auto for "Drag Racing" and this still lets you shift thru the gears .

Thanks for the Kilduff link, their stuff looks awesome! Makes me want to run an auto again instead of the old Jerico straight-cut geared dog ring box I've got now...NOT!
