the V6 already has 5 lug ...... for the tranny, you could replace the one you have with a Dr. Evil one ..... it'll cost you $4500 though.

the only real "power gain" you can get inside the tranny is to either re-gear it for whatever setup you want (launch, top speed etc) or get a lightweight flywheel

Automatics don't use flywheels.

I didn't realize he had the V6, just glanced and saw no mention of auto or 5 speed so I made an assumption. Nice catch!

it is an OEM tranny that they re-valved and put Raysbestos blue clutchpacks in.


it's much less likely with their prorietary valving, but the Dr. Evil's can fail too.
