#363, "RE: How to make a auto as fast as a manual" In response to In response to 2 Mar-20-03 03:02 PM by woo2gnt97
Being as fast as a manual isn't so hard. In fact, I raced a stock manual and beat him pretty bad last night. Probaly in the range of 2 cars or so. But he was stock, bone stock - not even an intake.
Despite anything you do - a manual w/ the same mods as you will most always be faster.
Final drive gears and a shift kit will get you close to an average manual driver. A nasty driver will still walk you though.
I'm not too sure on how much a torque converter will add or do. Perhaps that is something to look into :
