False. Backpressure is bad, period. What you're thinking of is scavenging

Back pressure is bad, and not something you want. Scavenging, on the other hand, is good.

Lmao, I’m not going to get a dark horse. Trading into a used car with an unknown history (how it was treated) is a far bigger risk imo than dropping 3-5K on a new transmission and selling the MT-82 on ebay to recoup some of the money.

If you can feel that extra 6 horsepower, you're probably a wizard. No shot.

Are you running lowering springs? The stance looks real good

A magnum on the S650 would be superb. I'll do some digging, I know theres some S550 writeups.

Nah, the whole point of getting a stickshift in this day and age is to shift. I want atleast two or three flat out shifts before I'm breaking any laws, hahah. Mustangs have always sort of been the American tuner car, comparable to the Hondas, or Nissan 240SX in my eyes. Half the fun of these is...

I just like closer tighter ratios, and the tremecs also feel nicer to drive. Driven a few before, I suspect DH feels similar. If it were up to me, I'd have the car max out in second gear at 62 mph, but thats just personal preference.

Thats the thing, I don't know if the ECU needs any sort of reprogramming or relearn for a transmission swap. I don't use rev match, so that in particular wouldn't be a worry.

My thoughts are, well, how hard could it be? Maybe needs different mounts or something. my biggest question would truly be regarding whether or not the ECU would get fussy with communications. At the end of the day, its just a stickshift, right?? I fondly remember doing tranny swaps in TR6's...

Yeah, I looked it up, same rear ratio. half the reason I'm looking into this is so I can have tighter ratios, other half is for the tremec and a little less rev hang with a few lbs off the flywheel. Nothing crazy, but just enough to make a difference.

Don't both the DH and the PPGT have the same rear? Pretty sure the DH has a 3.73 final drive, right?

I can't imagine its *that* much work to justify trading into a different car. The transmission will have to come out for a clutch replacement eventually anyway.

I'd be tightening up the gear ratios over the stock MT-82.

I don't use rev match, so that wouldn't be of concern. Good to know though

Has anyone went ahead and swapped a Tremec into the GT yet? Curious if there's any sort of additional programming needed to be done for the ECU to read the right engine speed, or anything else like that. Otherwise, is the install mostly straight forward like previous gens, issues, etc? Would...

Are we seriously having a dick measuring contest for who waited the longest? Lmao

I dream of going back to the days where 180 horsepower was plenty enough to have fun. Hell, my cammed Spitfire had maybe 70 horse to the rear wheels, maybe. But it felt like a rocketship, never a dull moment. Honda gets probably 160 to the wheels, hardly ever find that not being enough. But now...

I assume your friend gave you a great price on the HP stuff. Lucky man, hahah

The standardization of turbochargers has spoiled us all. I remember driving my friends tuned 595 Abarth and being shocked at how fast it was. It seriously felt like a rocket ship when the turbos came online, even though the powerband was only a few thousand RPM. We ended up doing some pulls on...
