    I finally got my daughter to upload her video of my first pass on tuesday night. Not bad for a cell phone, and it recorded it in MPEG-4.

    tell me if this don't work, it's a first for me.
    How to make High performance Emissions:
    A "true" High flow converter, straight pipe.
    Low/No flow EGR valve, block off plate.
    Carbon canister and purge valve mod, place in large 30 Gallon can, cover, and place curbside, the city will do the rest.
    PCV valve and vent tube, reroute to exhaust to dump where it belongs, on the ground. Or add breathers and let it all free.

    ah,. I got to find the ticket but, 14.56 @ 90's something MPH. I think it was 93 or 95.

    I would challenge that,manuals are by no means faster than an auto.
    When transmission shift times in a 4T60E are changed,they are measured in milliseconds.
    You could measure the shift time on a manual with a stopwatch,lol.
    And they're isn't near as much hp loss through an auto that people think there is anymore.

    I like to straddle the fence,I love manuals because I am in complete control of the machine. But auto's are faster nowadays,standards still include the driver as a variable.

    maybe on an auto that was made in the past 2-4 years or so, but the 4t60e has been around since 1991 and the 65e since 1997, they are ancient in this industry.

    the manuals generally get better gear ratios as well. the 1-2 shift on a 60e/65e usually takes most motors out of their powerband. the 2-3 is slightly better and 3-4 even better, but those rarely get used in 1/4 miles...

    I agree, the big problem with the 65E is the wide spacing between gears. At least with the LS4 you don't drop out of the powerband, but I can hold second gear to about 104MPH. At 1:1, acceleration sucks in third, but will eventually take you to ~160 if you have enough miles to run....
