Coming Soon: 4L65RR Manumatic System

[Steve Chryssos]

What about for someone who wanted to rebuild their own trans and was looking for what hard parts to put in it to build it up, or do you only deal with prepackaged transmissions?

Thanks in advance!

We have paddle shifter/computer and paddle shifter/computer/torque converter package deals. So you CAN go your own way on the transmission.



To reiterate, the goal of these systems is to push the envelope on shift quality and total vehicle performance. We're going after the best OE supercar systems. Over the past four years, we've managed to get these transmissions to shift quickly and predictably through computer tuning. Vehicle performance further improved with torque converter development. As Mark stated, the goal here is to get the most of computer tuning by going inside the transmission.

Bowler or Twist, we both reached the point where cranking up the tune did not yield additional benefits. Mark has spent the last few years developing mechanical blueprinting processes that extract that extra performance. The RR system is about extracted those additional gains. It's an on-going process.

Compushift plays into the formula as well. Unfortunately, it is too technical for bench racing. They employ feed-forward compensation circuitry for their controllers that respond more quickly than GM's standard feedback circuitry. If that sounds like spew, look here: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6222418.html We switched over to Compushift in Vin's blue car and with absolutely no other changes, the car shifts more quickly and predictably. I had to call Mike Hoy to confirm if my observations were valid.
