Just a question. Has anyone even considered the posibilities of "5 speeding" a SYTY? Seems that with a bad ass clutch setup, like the Dual Friction, it would be pretty bulletproof. Would this not put an end to the slow boost issues on a SYTY during launch? Imagine the possibilities. I may be way out of my league here, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I'm not sure why a manual would solve the 'slow boost issues' that i have yet to see.
A manual would create more problems than solve. Can't launch with any boost. Shock at launch would be high, you'd probably start snapping u joints, driveshafts, axles, burning clutches. Lose boost at shifts
We've covered the problems and issues with a manual 100 times. I don't think anyone has gone through the work to do one to prove us wrong. They once put a 6 speed in a Turbo Trans Am. Lost like 5-6 tenths in the 1/4, but gained a mph or two. It was great for top end with the .5 overdrive gearing though.

That makes sense. You may have covered the issues with the manuals a hundred times, but i have not yet had the time to view the thousands of posts in this forum. I have reviewed alot though. This was my first post here. Putting a 5-speed in a SYTY was something I had thought about for a long time. I did'nt think about boost loss during shifts, and I see your point. Thanks for the input! This is an invaluable resource for information regarding these little bad boys. Great site!
