That's a great ? I have a 4-1 header, and I would love to have more power all along the RPM, not just at the top, ESP in low 2nd, since we can't downshift to 1st going faster than about 5mph.

That's where double clutching comes into play. People always love to rip on double clutching, but there are still practical applications. After about 2mph the synchros will not let you shift into first, and the xA/xB first/second gear synchros blow monkey chunks.

Double clutch and there is absolutely ZERO wear on the synchros. It works flawlessly. However, be prepared for some wheelspin. I wouldn't do it above 10mph, however. . . It's a safe margin to avoid shifting into redline.

i did read the whole post... maybe you can point me to where they said that because i must have missed it and who cares if it lost power for n/a engines.... i would still like to see that shiney thing under my hood..... well guess its going to be my summer project to get some one to make me one.....


oh and I didnt buy my xA to bolt on 500hp i bought it so I could play with it and still be a daily driver... that manifold they had for pre-production would be a killer addition for anyone running boost.... then throw some spray in there and these eggs and boxs would be a little rocket

They said that they lost in the higher RPMs well that's exactly where my header kicks in, so....I'd like to see what it would do under my hood.

ok but no where in that post does it state they are not making a sheet metal intake manifold.... they say they are going back to the drawing board and are making it shorter for more mid/top end power and bolting on a CamCon to see if that will also help.....

PLEASE MMW this is a part that IS NEEDED. I myself and I'm sure many others are tired of looking at that nasty piece of plastic.......... I WANT SOMETHING SHINEY

something tells me that they would have announced something if they had a worthwhile product.
by the response on here, they already know that people would want it.
try checking their web site.

let the thread RIP.
