Pro 5.0 with short stick. You need to teach me how to drive.

I swear, if you sell this car, I'm going to... do something.

Its neat, just dirty. I'll get some pics.

Also, the car feels sluggish. Def. not as fast as I thought. It feels like it is either getting way too much fuel or the throttle is not going all the way back or pedal not going to the floor... Something is wierd... Or maybe I just haven't got on it enough...

I know... Damnit, I can't make up my mind. But actually, I think my dad just made it up for me about 10 minutes ago. From his mouth, "Whose name is the car in? Whose insurance are you on? How many damn cars do you need or want? This is it. If you want to sell it. Fine. But there won't be anymore cars in my name or on my insurance."

Yeah, so, uhhh, thats an easy one.

You might want to consider a stock shifter and maybe a pro50 handle. Thats what I use now. I had an MGW shifter (similar to pr50) on my t56 and hated it. Short shifters just make the already notchy tremec worse. Also I assume you are not using the shifter stops because you are not supposed to with the t56 (it has internal stops).

And I don't know if I could help you with that street sweeper.

I never tried it with the stock handle. I sold the stock shifter and pro 5.0 handle right after I got these... Its really not that bad, I'm just not used to it at all! Haha, street sweeper... Its freaking slow!

It not tuned... Just a mail-order. I am going to a dyno to get it tuned on the 14th of Oct. Actually, I looked at the box, and it isn't a stage 4. Its a stage 3+. What the + means, IDK. The stage 3+ clutch was put in because I am aiming to raise the power quite a bit once I get it broke in and tuned. I can come to Roanoke once I get an inspection sticker. Which might be never.
