COMPLETE kits for $2500 dollars. If you have access to a lift...it should a be a simple R+R of a tranny...

Then again this $2500 kit only supports @ 400hp $3000 will support 600hp.

Bobby, are you going to be racing a lot? Or running around town or back roads enjoying same SAFE speed? Automatics never miss a shift and in bracket racing, consistency is key, so the auto is what you want. For a fun driving experience, go manual...but I don't know the particulars in swapping auto to manual.

Get a Manual, unless you are going to be a full on bracket racer, then stick with the auto, If you want a car that is a helluva lot of fun to drive, switch to manual.. Do it! You'll never look back..
