I think 13's is possible,what gear do you have?


I dont think it will run a 13 with out a gear...  right now I have 3.08's so I am expecting a 14.3 or so...  if its faster..  wahooo....  but I dunno.  We'll see tomorrow.

I have been out cruising around all day, and LOVING the new found power!  Need a shift kit and 'verter now..

Without a converter and 3.73 gears, don't expect better than a very high 14....

Sounds good :D  The gear drive gives it a blower whine sound.

BTW whos holding the camera? It sounds like a little kid (who seems to like the loud noise the car makes ;) ).

Just watch with that stock pump as it is gonna be lean.
You got more than a stock HO and a less than an HO pump.

ok guys just an update...  after the BS I went through this week with the AOD it pushed me over the edge, so I went and bought a clutch today, and the T5 conversion has begun right now...  just came in to change into work clothes and go out and get her done...  I will take pics of the major parts along the way...  will update tonight when I am done it...  (hopefully...)
