keep the m6 or built auto.
Should i rebuild my t56 for my car or should i get a built 4l80 with a good stall?
The t56 rebuild is going to cost around 3000 dollars and is going to need a new clutch yearly.
The 4l80e should be a little less costly, but i have to get a few conversion parts.(crossmember, yoke, flexplate, shifter, trans cooler, ect...)
The car is a dd that will see a good bit of track time. The motor is a built 383 ls1 that will see a 200 wet shot at the track. Which would be the better more reasonable buy?
P.S. I love driving a 6 speed and would miss it, but i think i would enjoy a fast auto thats not getting a new clutch every year.

its all a trade off....six speeds are ALOT more fun to drive..the right auto setup will get you better times...so are you going to have fun and enjoy driving it all the time...or are you going to win races (thats how i decided the 6 speed vs. auto when i bought my car)---> i bought an auto...

Yea the auto is looking better and better to me, but nothing is ever going to beat the t56 in fun to drive catagory. Its just looking more affordable to go faster with the 4l80e.
