in order to make an auto worth it, it has to REALLY be built.

good luck.

let me be clear.


by that i mean a proper stall, shift kit, tran's cooler, etc.


my car is half street, and half strip, ive decided aginst at built auto due to the fact i belive i would need a 3000 stall to make it worth it, and thats not realistic for the street.

I don't know too much about autos, built or not, but if the car is a daily driver, and not just a track monster, don't you think you'd be losing out on some of the fun of driving by going auto? For me, rowing the gears is half the fun.

But if you are already an auto sometimes its just cheaper to stay auto and build that than it is to build/swap to a 5 speed that can handle the power. But yes 5 speeds are more fun and I can't wait to swap mine!
