Re: What's normal operation for the SGI-5

Its connected to the ecm to shut off after whatever speed it was, 110mph maybe? Either way I pulled my factory buffer. After some troubleshooting I have a smooth speedo from 0 to jail time.

Re: Buy an IROC with a 5 speed or auto trans.

Im doing what Big Gear Head is suggesting, somewhat. Building everything behind the engine rather than risk breaking some nasty stuff. t56 swap on a 5 speed car is easy and awesome.
