It would be interested for you to borrow an otrcai and see if you can improve on your times with one.
Loads more mods you can do mate. fast102 intake etc wink

Also I think you will find the manual crowd have to modulate throttle as well. If that's all you have to do then I still think my comment of it being easier to run an auto stands smile You will never miss a shift in the auto for one. Missing shifts in the manual is all too easy.
Try modulating throttle, working gear stick, working clutch, watching rpm levels all at the same time.

You autoboys can tune the auto to shift at the right rpm etc, so all you have to do is push the throttle down. Hmmm, doesnt sound too hard!

Check this out for a proper Manual run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olWXYBsKudA

I would be interested in buying the best OTR CAI, but borrowing one for a couple of runs would be good too. I currently have a Vector Motorsports ported intake manifold, but I don't know how good it is.

I really wanted a Faster Proms Stage 2 ported intake manifold. But their tuner couldn't get into my tune so adding the ported intake manifold, they wouldn't have been able to maximize my gains with out being able to tune for it.....



I'm going to run the car 'as is' the first time out at least. Then start making changes.

I think a new E38 PCM and a new EFI Live or HP Tuners ECM/TCM tune will be 1st on the mod list.... Then, everything can come after that.....


That was a sweet GTO manual You Tube clip

You won't need an American accent to pull in Cardiff on a friday or saturday. In fact you won't have to say anything. Just buy em a drink.
