if you add in a auto stall converter, im sure u'd change your mind, but having a 6 speed manual does have its advantages. If you really want to convert it to a manual, post this up in the manual transmission section. ( link below ) The guys there will be able to help you on that.

jesus christ son... do you even have a BRAIN?!?!?!


there are plenty of people with automatics that race. for the love of god just use the search button.

put a nice stall in your car, get a few more boltons, ditch the HPP3, throw in a cam and some nitrous

only if the world was that easy....






but look, seriously look into buying a stall in your car. definately helps the car out a TON

put like a 3500 stall converter, ported heads, a bad cam, some n2o, and some tires. after you put that stall converter in you will be very happy with the automatic, especially if you are doing major mods.
