LS1 or ATI Procharger...
I've seen several LS1 tranny and all for 3-4k.... and on the other hand the mach ATI kit is 4k+....
with the ls1 base line... I would be where I would be with the ATI... with no where else to go... I've got several buddies that could do the ls1 swap for pretty cheap.. I guess I'm asking what is the most cost effective HP gain... oh yeah... 2003 4.3l 5sp.... would a ls1 6spd pop right up in my stock shifter location?! |

Re: LS1 or ATI Procharger...
Yeah definitely stick with the LS1. That is the better way to go. But no the 6-speed will not pop up through the stock shifter location. It will be about where your 2nd cup holder is. You have to cut the console if you have buckets. If you have a bench you need to get buckets.

Re: LS1 or ATI Procharger...
LS1 deffinetely. Hopefully you know what your getting yourself into though. Not an easy or cheap swap where the ATI for the most part is a bolt on instalation. The T56 is longer then your T5 so like Dan said the shifter will be moved back towards the seat a few inches.

Re: LS1 or ATI Procharger...
My friend has done (2) Gen3 and T56 swaps. Both are very clean swaps.
