That's a good looking wheel, Pappy. What finish will you put on them?

Incredible build and I don’t know how I missed it.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered a 6XD sequential transmission. It has a built in load cell (strain gauge) that can trigger the ECU to provide a brief ignition cut for no-lift/no clutch WOT upshifts. The no-clutch downshifts were a little more complicated. My Wilson dominator throttle body has mechanical linkage. Turns out I can add a throttle drive motor (the Trans Am TA1 guys use them on their 900hp NASCAR motors) and a DBW throttle, coupled with the strain gauge input, to get a programable auto-blip through the MoTec ECU. My motor is so far back that I had to go to C6 transaxle linkage from the back of the transmission forward to a remote shifter so it would be in the proper location close to the steering wheel. Parts are ordered and there is a 4-5 week build time for the transmission, so I've got a little time to make the necessary mods. Here is a link to the 6XD website: https://www.6xdgearbox.com/

That's insane, lol. We're going to need some driving videos with full throttle upshifts, please.

A seemingly endless string of construction updates. I finished modifying the firewall, floorboards, and frame to install a new 6XD sequential transmission. I need to build a bracket for the remotely-mounted shifter that is connected with a single push-pull rod. I will install the engine soon so I can finish the plumbing and get it on a chassis dyno for final tune and to program the ECU for no-lift shifts and no-clutch downshifts. I finished the conversion to a DBW throttle that was required for the shifts. Some progress.
