Autos are better than manuals when both built comparably. Telling someone that a manual is so much better is a crock of shit. Manuals will take autos unbuilt, even with a shitty driver like myself. Don’t feed lines of shit to people.

Speed Governor – yes there is a way to do it, no I will not tell you, BUT I will tell you where to SEARCH for it. I wont tell cause if you f*ck up and kill yourself or someone else, I don’t want it back on myself. Some of the idiots will do so or their families will, cause they need someone to blame. And as it stands if you are that new that you have to ask about it, its evident you don’t know much about these cars nor prob don’t have a good setup car wise to be under control. THIS ISNT A BASH ON YOUR DRIVING SKILLS OR CAR!!! There are only a few that would need this mod on a track, but as it stands most of you def do this on public roads. [size=3]Even the most deserted roads you can screw up and kill yourself or another. And if the roads are really that deserted you have to watch out for wildlife. However if you are still wanting to do this. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON, SEARCH FOR VSS, READ THE RESULTS FROM IT SO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE DOING. Kickazz wrote it and its HIGHLY detailed.

Yes you can do this on 4 speed autos, not on 3 speeds as of yet I don’t think, and yes for manuals. [size=3]Doing so can throw a code and cause problems. That’s at your own risk when you HALF-AS-S things… Obviously this isn’t a real reprogramming to do this nor a kit, its simply doing things at your own and cars risk. NO ONE ON JBO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SCREW UPS…. also doing this is odometer tampering, and also leaves your car at 0$ resale value. Yes, by doing this, if its ever found when someone once overs your car, your car will now be worth ZERO DOLLARS. Pretty costly for stupidity in my thoughts. Cause the majority of you, nor myself aren’t the worlds greatest drivers, you aren’t driving the safest cars, so if you mess up that’s your rear.
Someone will undoubtedly catch a hissy fit from me posting what I did, but I really don’t care. Truth hurts sometimes, deal with it. You can call me every name in the book if you think its makes you more of a man or woman, but this mod shouldn’t be used on public roads PERIOD. And the majority of us, with respect to M Karas, Karo, prob J mack, and a few small group of others, will ever need this on a ¼ mile track. However now you know where to get it. Got it? Good.

I decided not to worry about it when some guy said it topped out at 146. I wouldn’t take it off if the car couldn’t handle it.
And I didn’t say manuals were better for racing. What I meant was I would rather have a manual because it’s more fun to drive. Better gas mileage is an extra bonus.
when built comparably
there is the key.
now go get prices for a well built tranny that is comparable to a stock (doesnt cost shit, came with the car) tranny.
yes, autos shift faster, and for you for that matter, but cost a lot of money.
For some reason my guage stopped working when it passed 140 on the EA cruise. :shrug:
