3 pedals.....and not even thinking of changing that. Just looking to ad at least 1 more gear in there. I would love a 6 speed manual but am looking to get a 5 speed as soon as I can.

Re: What tranny u runnin?

The easy way to explain it is, the unit replaces the rear housing on the back of any trans with specific adapters. It simply lowers the ratio of any gear engaged in manual mode or acts like an O.D. in auto mode. My rear is set up with 4.10's, but in O.D. it lowers it to 3.20. Good for 1000hp. Check their website for tons of info and install stories.
