i went from 11.80-12.00 range with a m6 to 11.70's with a th400. 60's went from 1.70's to 1.58's and mph went from 118-119 down to 115

i was planning on spraying it, but never got around to it before i took it apart.

I went from a 6.82 1.55 60' to a 6.61 1.42 60'. I've only had the th-400 for a month and had the M6 for 4 years.

^^^ yea you do... really cool/good weather AND track prep friday night got my mph back up 2mph and knocked nearly 3 tenths off my previous best, which was 2 tenths quicker than w/ the 6spd. now we're talking half a second better e.t. with only 1mph loss. and that was off IDLE!!! the converter is in teh 3500 range w/ a 4.10 gear at a portly 3,600+ raceweight. low 1.6x 60' times.

kinda... i feel that the reverse manual valve body A3's are just as fun as driving the 6spd... and i am a HUGE 6spd fan. for daily drivers yea they're more fun, plus it takes more driver skill to get one to go quick. but i wanted a trans that wasn't going to blow up, and something that was going to knock down my e.t. so a3 was the way to go.
