You'll restore at least 20 rwhp or more with this setup. On avergage, a manual tranny probably loses 15%. The stock auto SC400 loses probably around 28%. That's quite a lot. Please dyno your car after it's done.

I really do plan on getting new seats. Its sucks seeing my car get better and better but then I look at the seats and I loose the joy. Hopefully soon after I'm done with this swap. I'm looking into a paint job first though.

Looking good man.

I bumped up about 20 ft lbs of torque through the entire power band with this mod.
