i'm getting my car back from the shop in a few days...was curious on what to expect when i get it. its a 1999 v6. 5speed,alum flywheel,spec stage 2 clutch kit, steeda triax short throw shifter,posi,4.10's, cai, bbk shorty headers, diable sport tuned. true flowmaster dual exhaust. just did the tranny swap from a auto to the t5, i'm pretty excited to get it back.... what do u guys think i'm gonna be lookin at for a 0-60 or 1/4 mile? what should be my next upgrade now?

 

Low 15's at best. That's like 10 HP over stock.

 

Yeah your only HP adders were the shorties/4.10/and diablo.

You could have spent the money on the trans swap on a stall for the auto and power mods and ran faster times.

 

You sure? lol

 

Didn't know gears added hp. Man, wish I knew that when I had my six ...

But to answer your question, not very much over stock. It's a good little engine, but you need to invest a decent amount into the engine intself before you start seeing improvements. The shorties will do nothing if anything. The 4.10's will help you out a bit, and the diablo will too. I'd say a little faster, but not by much.

 

I don't like the 4.10s with manual combo...not great for the powerband of our engine. It should be a fun car to drive though, and a good platform for future mods.

 

If you're a good driver, mid/low 15s, if you're average, high 15s/low 16s. All in all you're not gaining much power, however going from an auto to a manual nets around 10-15 rwhp (depending on how much juice your auto was sucking), the flywheel around 1 rwhp, the headers 1 rwhp, cai 3-5 rwhp, tune 7-10 rwhp, so as stated, you're not gaining much at all, but being that you're going from an auto to a manual you are going to notice a drastic change in the overall performance of the car, however it's still not going to knock your socks off.
