The 3 speed ATX can handle a bit more than the 4 speed.

Especially with the right $$$$ parts.

The 31th (3 speed) held up well to the Turbo I cars of the '80's/'90's in stock form. While the hp wasn't much better than an N/A 2.0, I'm sure the torque was. That and those cars were a bit heavier.

It is a 2001. 4 speeds weren't used until 2002 for domestic cars.

That and you can just count the shifts starting from a stop to 45 mph or less at light throttle. Just don't confuse TC lock up for another shift.

you won't need them till you get camber over 1.5-2 degrees. toe is the most important adjustment...

so i will still have to adjust the toe? and i see people using the 1gn springs to lower now is that for looks or is there some handling advantages to this. im just wondering if i can go that route and then save up for some bc's or similar.
