To the OP:

If the race is from a dig the auto is king.
Roll? the manual is.

Once you both get fairly modified your auto will soon show it's "prowess."

Never seen anyone re-gear a 4L60/E. What are your new ratios?

Well, we don't know till he posts, but that's kinda why I asked what his new ratios were lol I honestly didn't believe he changed the internal gear ratios.

Who really cares if a m6 is better for roll racing? Roll racing is just dumb, Roll racing is just two ididot's speeding!! I see no point in it. I guess roll racing is for cars that have no torque to make them haul *** off the line. I see mainly low torque 4 bangers roll racing, because they can't race from a dig. That's for sure!!
