Not really a choice anymore. Wad dont do anything for the AU, Crow fall into the "hahahah, what a dog" catagory and everyone else is still yet to have long term success.

Talk to JMM and G&D, both have I6 AU's that have proven themselves in the real world. Make your decision from there.

Both have run a ~14.2, in an AU..... With an Auto.

Not bad is understatement! ;)

nope, both cases had diff, histall, headwork, cam, exhaust, intake and computer mods. Serious business... the very pointy end of the I6 NA auto field.
