m6=manual 6 speed.

I think your next mod should definately be a stall.. and maybe some drag radials. You would probably see high 12's with that. After that get some long tubes and a decent cam and you will have a pretty quick street car.

.. and you'll blow the thing up.

unless you change physical components, eliminating torque management and increasing line pressure will decrease the service life.
