I think Eric was suggesting a six speed manual conversion.

So did you ever get a chance to finally dyno the car and if so how did it turn out? Any tuning done on the dyno, or did you just get a read on how it was doing?? The world is watching here, of course no pressure from us! :D

Also... was over on Camaro5 in the LFX section and I saw where someone was selling an Aisen 6-speed manual, 41K miles on it out of a 2014 V6 Camaro - and including the clutch & pressure plate for $600. I still say if you want the car next-level a 6-speed swap is still something to consider if you're ambitious!

Thanks
Eric
