But then auto rev matching would not work correctly without tuning (if those parameters can be changed with a tune).
If I ever nuke my MM6 in my 17 SS 1LE, I'd put the MG9 from an ATS-V in. 1st through 4th are same ratios, but, 5th & 6th go from 0.74 / 0.50 to 0.80 / 0.63. Higher torque rating too on the MG9 at 565 vs. 500 ft-lb. Would be a nice trans with head / cam which is the plan for my 17 anyways.
