M6 is more fun, but if the main goal is drag racing stick with the automatic...trust me on that.LT1-TA said:so you went from a a4 to a m6? how difficult was this? How much down time is there? And how much did it cost to make the change? I keep hearing the 6 speeds are better than the automatics. So im CONSIDERING the change in about a year and a half when the motor is done.
What is the power handling of those trannys?
Its not a hard swap at all...depending on how much you spend on a clutch it will run you $1500-$2500 for everything.
We did mine 1.5 days. The T56 can hold 450ft-lbs rated....many survive much more than that. Be forewarned though...a good clutch and T56 = start saving for a 12-bolt or Ford 9"....I learned that the hard way.
