LS 5th is for pussies.

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (D)
 

the ATS will make your car FEEL slightly faster, and personally I think the LS 5th is a good idea if you do a lot of highway driving to help keep the revs(read: gas consumption) down a bit. If you are going to do it, might as well go with the ATS if you ask me.

ATS all the way. It's well worth the extra money.

LS 5th? Doesn't that come with a free sample of Vagisil products?

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (Spoon1)
 

put in 4.9 in my car, but put in a 4.7 in another car last week http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmile.gif

yhttp://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmileo.gifshi - who'd like the ATS 3-4-5 http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmileo.gif

the RPM difference isn't even a valid arguement between the two IMO.

You want it to be low on the revs? 4.26 LS FD with LS 5th gear. That'll be low.

For thoe that really care about the 500 RPM difference between JDM FD and ATS.. shouldn't be looking at a FD IMO. The 5th gear pull is the best thing about the ATS IMO.

since i like going to the track , i know it makes a different 1/4 mile e.t's
Yoshi how do you like your 4.9ATS ??

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (Spoon1)
 

ATS 4.929 FD http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emthup.gif

On wet pavement you can pretty much forget about first gear traction even during semi hard acceleration but other then that the way the car accelerate out of a corner is much snappier. Very happy with this modification. RPM difference on highway is negligeable IMO (especially since my redline is at 9500 rpm so no lost of top speed vs stock)

Are there any disadvantages associated with the ATS, besides higher price?

no caps eats ass

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (mugenmike)
 

It makes it that much harder to drive responsably http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmilep.gif

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (Spoon1)
 

JDM FD. 4.9 is too short on road courses w/ the stock rev limiter.

ALLLL road courses? http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emwink.gif

I like my ATS 4.929, and Warren drives too fast anyway http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emsmilep.gif

Cal : Who would like complete gear from ATS for his ITR!

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (Warren)
 

Warren: He said daily driver though. So while the ATS might be too much for the stock rev limiter on some road courses, it doesn't really apply to what he wanted. Personally, for daily driver my suggestion is still the 4.9. 5th gear pull owns. http://rely.net/~htimages/smile/emthup.gif

Re: need HELP making a decision on which FD (Dave-ROR)
 

red line will be at 9800rpms , depending how much top end power the 2.0L set up makes with the Spec D cams . maybe even 10krpms
