Like the Video... With that much power it seems to me that its a little harder to manage with the stick the the auto. I like sticks cause of the fun factor, but is there any regret leaving the auto?

Is there also any way to gain more traction besides using crazy glue on your tires?

I really like the car.. awesome job..

Blessings,

Stick shift flat out sucks in a high powered car. I really miss the auto for safetys sake. Plus, ever try to launch a car with 800fltb, a 2.66 1st gear, 3.08 gears, and 26" tall 19" tires on an 850/200lb srpring combo????? It takes insane skill! I am a little crazy (and completely used to it) so going 125 mph sideways does not bug me too much, but stick will be better for the road track.
When I hook up my traction control and my boost controller again I will be able to floor it through the first 4 gears again. With these 19" tires I am guessing I need 5psi, 6psi, 10psi, 17 psi, 19psi in 1-5 gears with my current 93 octane tune. This will get me close to having a car that will hook. Now I just have to pick up some $505 a piece rear Michelin 305/30/19 cup tires, YIKES! Then I will have a 9 second car , right now I will be lucky to muster up a 10 second pass.
