Default 2-step and M6 fun

hey guys with M6 turbo cars if you dont have a LPE 2-step you should try one

You should try a Spec 3+ if you're not over 850 rwtq. Katech was running it in their Attack Camaro

Forget you have tex twin or just 0z700? I would just go auto and never look back.Turbo cars love autos. And autos kick *** in the quartermile especially. But six speeds are fun on the highway,not so much in heavy traffic. I am just about ready to do my conversion. Shortly will be ordering my new 4l80e from FLT and have just about everything else I need for the swap.

ill call you john
for the rear its a strange 12 bolt with 3.42 and 33 spline alxes it seem to take it well
and yes i should go auto but the M6 is better on gas on the highway and alittle more fun
how well does the 4l80e fit with the WGs next to the bellhousing and how much is it costing you to go auto 99ta?

oh and i have just the x-grip tex its the little one. they say its good to 700tq
