VQ35 to Chevy Tranny adapter....thought somebody might like this
While I was browsing around the web for intake parts to fabricate a plenum I ran across something that some of you high hp drag racers might be interested in.....VQ35 to Chevy Auto Tranny Plate adapter.... http://www.rossmachineracing.com/vq35transadapt.html
If everyone already knew about this I'm sorry, but figured it wouldn't hurt to post it.

I remember last year seeing a couple guys who had made their own.....but this is great to see. A reputable company making this stuff. The turbo 400 is ideal for the big hp applications that the VQ auto tranny's have a little difficulty with.

That is pretty freakin cool. I wonder how much money and what it would take to do this conversion. I have already rebuilt my tranny once and would like something more reliable.

There are probably well over a dozen cars on this forum that could run well into the 10s if just the owners would:
1: spend a few grand setting up for drag.
2: make 20-30 passes down the track.
3: fixed things as they broke immediately and went back to the track.
With those steps employed, theres more then a few of us here who would be running those times. Its just pretty apparent that not many of us actually care much to get that timeslip - its right there waiting to be had, but who is actually reaching for it?

Plenty of us have the power, just not willing to really go all out with the whole drag racing thing. I have thought about it plenty of times, it just seems so wasteful to do it to a new car unless you are really $$$$$$.

03 base = $15k
GreddyTT Kit w/ built motor and yadda yadda = $20k
TH400 and what not = $1000?
$36k?

I briefly tossed around the idea of the chevy 4-speed tranny swap, new driveshaft, electronics issues, etc, so I doubt that a 1000$ would cover it.
