I'll prolly upgrade to some kind of shorty header later but I am not running a high boost untill everything is in working order. I gotta start paying off some cards.

Oh no nothing from my kit is on my card that was 3 months of solid saving. Although my suspension is another story. That and Christmas.

Its just the flow of the Manifold its not the greatest and its small its fine for a DIY but if your looking for great results its not the best choice for the time and money you need to customize it you rather just buy one as for the tranny it will hold but the cables and other parts of the tranny might not

from what I have learned is the tranny can hold crazy amounts of power its just the clutch is garbage...
I drive a 2010 Golf that growls at people when it goes over 3000rpm.

from what i know , that tranny is "borrowed" from the cougar and i believe the v6 made 250 hp or a little less than that , so apparantly the tranny is good for about 250 hp and no more .... obviously the stock clutch will turn to dust , so aftermarket clutch is the way to go , infact i have a brandnew in box centerforce clutch that i dont need .... if you do then cool let me know

The factory manifold is a peice of crap as far a flow is concerned if you look at the collector if you can call it that the runners all exit into each other one of the poorest designs I have ever seen, it may work but as far as performance is concerned it is far from it.
