For drag the auto trans is a better choice, expessially with the turbos. With the right stall converter that thing will rocket off the line every time. Yeah, Im running a 3500 stall converter so it should go pretty good off the line i hope. screw a stall. transbrake. load the engine at full boost good for launches

boo hoo josh! save up and do it right.
i donated 600$ to my own trans for a diff, 400 for a clutch, and 300 for a msd and a two step so i could launch good.
you can afford zo6 heads, a couple ls1's, and boost? you can afford a trans brake.

The next trans will have a trans brake, this one is going to do my break in work for me, over winter I'll tear it down and install the brake and put some billet parts in it, sure I'll lose a couple tenths in the 1/4 but its fine for now. you can afford zo6 heads, a couple ls1's, and boost? you can afford a trans brake. Believe it or not, I'll have less then 4k in the whole car when its all said and done Anyways here are my new seats [/quote]

cool. can't wait to see the beast.
btw you need a certain style torque converter to run a transbrake. thats why its expensive.

I can run any stall converter I want, Its the valvebody and solenoid that cost the money, For example a My 3500 stall can be stretched to a 5000 with the brake, you just cant take a 5000 stall and launch lower, as long as you stay above or at your converter you'll be fine.
