I just bought a TVS gen2 for my car and it has a 4R75W with 3:73's and 325 drag radials. I was wondering who else drag races there auto and what to expect. I was hoping for mid 10's.

I've had a 4r100 in my car and now a th400 full race tranny. I also have a friend with a gen 1 TVS gt500 KR, with a 4r100 thats running 10.0s at full weight on drag radials. Think with a convertor swap we can get some 9.7s out of it

Has anyone looked at TCI, they have a 6 speed auto for our car. Not cheap, but it is a 6 speed..I know VMP is running it on their gt500.

I have a 6r80 in my 11. I hope to take it to the track here in the next week or two. I'll post times when I get them.

JDM fitted the 4r100 and BTS wired it up to shift automatically. The triangle speed done the th400. BTS now has parts to sell to allow someone to install his BTS trans. You will spend at least 10k if you pay a shop to install it.

Mine was an FB Performance conversion and they have everything so you don't have to piece it all together. And yes, you are talking roughly $10k by the time it's all said and done.

Who swapped in the 6R and how are you tuning the car/trans?
Interested to hear your drag results!

Im going to the dyno Tue. I'm hoping for 650 rwhp 680 tq. I'm hoping that's enough to get it into the mid 10's. What do you guys think?

Light in the tunnel.

Awesome, they needed to develop this to make the 6R80 work. Come on Baumann!

Got a release e-mail on this last night.

Line pressure control has been the nut to crack and why no controller has been able to make the 6R80 work.

Man, I hope they get something out by late winter.

I have no info. I have been checking their website. And it said it was released for sale on Dec 23rd. I hope some company like pbth, revanracing, or VMP can come up with some type of combo kit to make this a doable swap for the average weekend racer guy. From what i understand, It's easier to put a Gt500 engine into an automatic GT than to put a auto in a GT500 right now. That's just damn ridiculous.
