I'll sell you my turbo 350 for $650 plus the ride and you'll be done with that can of worms that you just cracked open.

I had six speed 96ta, 97 ta and 99 ta, and many of my talons had manual trans and so did my fieros. Swapped over the 99tt this season and coudln't be happier. I had dicked around in past a lot with clutches,slaves, masters,drill mods,and was sick of missing shifts, having it not go into gear under high power, hitting the limiter, hard to modulate bog and spin. I was sick of it in our heavy traffic and unsynced traffic lights. Sick of my clutch when it got grabby and sick of trying to drive up onto hoists .I had tex twin. Pedal pressure was good on that one and it did seem to grab,maybe too good as said it seemed to get more grabby as it got hot.

Now enjoy my driving around the city. Heavy traffic is no big deal, sitting at lights is no big deal. With the stall get a great launch and can build more boost more easily than a manual. No more worries about misshifting, hitting the limiter, just let the computer take over and concentrate on keeping the car shiny side up.

Oh and why did stupid GM move the slave internal on the ls1. It was external on my lt1 and on my talons. What should be a 5 minute job to change takes hours because of that stupid internal slave.

8psi. The 9psi was a fluke, I lost traction during my street log and it shot the RPMs way up and the wastegate didnt react quite fast enough.
