Now discuss and order a bunch and set new speed records

All gears are straight cut that thing is going to grind like a mad dog if you are not an expert at double clutching lol. Definitely not a transmission for street use unless you are a masochist,
Either that or you learned or know how to drive a Semi( straight cut gears in semi trans)

I'm sure it's fine at full throttle, everything else may be an issue. Is Syvecs the only person that makes a compatible standalone or is there a Haltech that can be finagled to work?

Not sure if anyone has done a Haltech for our cars. Knew guys doing Haltechs on KA’s, SR’s and RB’s.

I think you can make a Haltech work if you basically redo the whole wire harness

Would a standalone ECM be absolutely necessary for this to work, or could there be an add-on/patched into/integrated with our factory ECM which could accomplish the requisite throttle cut at shift with a signal from a potentiometer on the shift lever?

This thing is almost $13.5K, before any ancillaries.

I still consider it totally 'UN-streetable', unless one knows for sure that they would NEVER EVER be stuck in stop and go traffic, or a scenario where they could not shift at WOT.
For a trailered open track/hillclimb/etc. car it might make sense at that price, since you would be doing the required servicing at short intervals anyway.

Same goes for a stage rally car, even though those DO see some street driving on the transit sections to get to the all-out special stages.
