Question ECU Tune vs 5 speed

Im bought a 5 speed manual out of a legacy 97 but have yet to install it (my auto that was rebuilt is still good but will be changing shortly in a few weeks!) A 5 speed will get you how much gain over AUTO? A ECU tune will get you??? With both combined what are the numbers??? ?? I think that the 4.44 gears would be great but what will it do # wise??? What will it do with the ECU tune with the 5 speed together??? I want her nice and fast! We all do though... Let me know what you think..

Thank you all
-Sean

Jesus dude... Have you read ANY of the threads that people have posted... Threads that I've posted?!?! They are all over... But to summ it up for you...

- 5MT won't "net" you anything, it'll only make the car more fun to drive
- ECUTune Stage 1 (Who knows - apparently I am the only one who has dynoed the "before" and "after" for the stage 1... When I get my charts up you'll know...

When you figure out each one, att them together...

Also 97 Legacy 5 MT's were not 4.44.. They were 4.11

So basically what I think is that you should do your mods like the rest of us have done. Or take your SVX to the Dyno like I did last weekend. Get a baseline run then start doing your mods... Dyno it each time you have a question... Then you'll have your answers... Or you could just search, but honestly asking that many questions and wanting "#'s" and stuff is just annoying... Go get them yourself...

I could react in a like manner in respect of many of the requests for assistance which are posted, but I am inclined to stay cool until the complete picture unfolds. This place is changing.

It's just so irritating that we are talking about the EXACT same damn thing in the ECUTune thread that is right above this one... I mean why the hell didn't he search before asking for "#'s" and stuff??? That's the irritating part...

Seriously Origional Poster... Read the forums for a bit, because I'm not going to post anything else on this topic... The information is out there and who knows, you might learn a few things about your SVX when you spend a few hours reading...

Nice avatar pic BTW... knew it would only take a week or so for someone to snag it

A related thread that has been ongoing for a couple weeks... I just haven't sifted through it, but looks like it would be a good place for you to start!
