Default not another import
New to the board and dont have a domestic. instead I went with a 350z and am highly considering the ls1 swap and build. this wasnt the original plan as i wanted to turbo however getting an automatic kinda screwed that idea. hopefully by the end of next year ill have my z with full ls1 conversion and tracking it in the 1/4 but we'll see.

Being a auto in that turbo would work well. No boost loss between gear shifts like a manual.

the auto z's loose a lot of tq from the transmission and also they cant handle the power. a buddy of mine is only making 370ish to the wheels and his tranny is starting to slip and needs to be rebuilt. a manual z on his setup should be running 400-450's
