Relax.. I'm just curious. If i wanted too. Could i goto an automatic?

 

I'm pretty sure the SS has provisions for a Transmission Control Module, but I don't know if the tranny would physically bolt to an automatic without an adapterplate

 

Sure Onyx, you know you could.
Lots of Saabs have autos, I'd check into them. I don't remember the numbers but I think the Cobalt auto isn't rated for too much power and your LSJ would hammer it.

The HHR SS has an auto with the LNF. That would be the one to get, but big bucks.
A redline with an auto and SC would sure be different!

Just my 2 cents, your reality may differ.

 

Thanks. Was just curious. Wonder what an auto LSJ would run.

 

Depends on what tranny you used.

A 4T45e would theoretically be pretty closed to maxed out on a stage 2.

Plus swtiching from 5 speed to 4 speed wouldnt be very good.

I would imagine it would run 14.5to15.0

 

pm ptparker on redline forums, he is doing one out of a impala i think.

 

Dont the impalas have the 4t65 in it??? I wonder what tranny they are using in the 8 second cobalt in i think the nhra.

 

Yes its the 4t65 and that is what the guy with the redline is using.

 

ohh aight yeah i hear those are strong trannys and that you can beef them up pretty damn good for the strip. thanks shortbus.

 

4t65 in a cobalt???


bye bye LSD... welcome open diff

 

anything is possbile man with fabrication

 

quaife does sale lsd for the 4t65. so not bye bye lsd.

 

stock, they blow ass.

 

Funny cause that's what guys are running with manuals lawl

 

IMO an automatic wouldn't be too much slower. 60ft times might actually be better with an auto over a manual. I think a stock LSJ auto would run 14.5 if not faster.

 

Yeah, in my auto, my 60' isnt much lower than most LSJs, and they have an assload more torque.
