It's ok, I know him from track events . He's a 350 guy mostly so he's not native to these forums!

Heresy!

But on a more serious note, I still plan to someday swap in an LS-series engine whenever I finally destroy this VQ, and when that happens I'll undoubtedly have to go with a T-56 manual from GM for sanity's sake. Making the 7AT work without the stock ECU/BCM/Meters/Sensors would be a nightmare if it's possible at all, and the aftermarket sequential/DCT options are just way too expensive.

Maybe the 'vette has a nice paddle-shift auto option that could theoretically work, but even then it's probably more expensive, and probably doesn't work out with a minimal harness and a race ECU or whatever. We'll see what happens when I get there, but I'm mostly just bracing for having to accept a manual again at that point. By then I'll probably have the rest of driving down pretty well though, so I won't mind having to focus on heel-toe skill for a while.
