I raced all stick cars for 18 years, I got lots more respect winning competitions with a stick, but you win less because they are less consistent and no matter how fast you shift, you r losing E.T. I absolutely love stick over auto. The TKO 600 is a beast and shifts like a hot knife in butter, but if u r in competition and want to win more often....get the TH400. You will have more controlled launches and more accurate dial ins

This is exactly the reason I put a th400 in mine. I would love to put a manual in my LS swapped 69 Corvette. It would be a dream. But, when I run an index class, those guys are dead on. And I need every advantage I can get. Grateful for the video. And thanks for the honesty. Not many people are. Good luck.

+gmiller25941 funny that youre telling a guy what to do with his own car. how about he uses what he wants because its his choice, decision and car. if you dont like it, that is not his problem. i doubt he woukd let you drive it anyway so why does it matter if the light comes on? are you going to be staring at it? no.

@chrishansen7004 I always like the 410s with the 4 speed, especially if you're street driving. I have a 69 Fastback with 502 CI cobra jet, an AOD Electric 4 speed and 430s and it actually does ok on the highway. That should run 9.90 or so. My 68 with 411 and c4 3 speed doesn't like highway(rpm) The 410 with a 4 speed auto leaves alot in the low end to have excellent acceleration and decent drivability at 65-70 mph. This video the car had a 351w and a 5 speed tko500. Ran 11.00 at 118 or so. Now it has a svo 4 bolt , 408 with small heads and 5500 dynamic converter. There are a few recent videos where I'm running 10.50s off the foot brake. Where are you located anyway?

revinkevn Unreal, my TKO 600 has been in and out 3 times now. Won’t shift what so ever above 5900rpm. Just goes to show how inconsistent the Tremec manufacturing facility in Mexico really is. Mine is getting a few upgrades this time. But these things are expensive to fix up. Sliders aren’t sold separately and that’s total bullshit because they want almost $300 for the 1-2 synchronizer assembly. They come apart easy enough s that’s nice I guess

@Bazooka Joe bring the car to my track and I'll show you! Seriously, tho, I just know the release point of the clutch and you have roughly 6 inches of rollout before you turn off the top bulb. As long as you have a good clutch, you inch in it and stop the car with the brake. Bring the rpm up with the clutch just engaged. I have that tranny in my 93 gt as well. I have a couple of videos on board from that on my channel as well. Although it's a much less violent launch, it's the same principle. Please subscribe, ill have some new videos this summer. I have an 82 stick car I'm currently building that should be in the mid 10s. An 84 GT 408w that runs 10.80s thru mufflers and still have the 68 408w and auto 10.50s. They all will see a few passes this season although I'm concentrated on my son's Jr. Dragster campaign.

Are you powershifting the whole way or is that 1st to 2nd a quickshift? Also, is the tko faceplated or stock? I'm building my 68 cougar for drag and I absolutely love the way this thing ran. I've got a tko 600 (upgraded internals from libertys gears to help with that 2-3 shift, but not faceplated) and I'm wondering what's the best way to run it on the strip

Now they shut down englishtown. I’m building an 85 mustang 347 with the tremec magnum 6 speed. I spent the extra money because of rumors of tko not shifting past 63-6500. Yours shifted perfect.

I didn't feel the need to explain this to him but for someone with common sense and a better understanding of life I felt compelled. Thanks.

I agree that you would be just wasting time trying to explain the difference between time trial runs and eliminations.
