i have the B&M 3000 holeshot. it slips pretty bad during city traffic. crusing isnt bad. if you floor it from astop it will peg to 3gs then engages then the tires rip.
IT DOES CREATE ALOT OF HEAT so make sure you get the largest tranny cooler you can get. i got the 24gvw. they sell a 28gvw now. theyre deff. worth the money and theyre known to knock off around .5 seconds on your time

I always had a manual. That sounds like it's annoying, having that slip all the time. Is it?</P>

let me explain the slippage...the tranny isnt actually slipping like if it was bad tranny. you get the slippage up untill you hit the stall speed of the tranny.

you get used to the slipage. i dont recomend a large stall for a DD. since i dont drive mine all the time i dont mind it. and im never crusing under 3k anyways in the stang.
