Default 3.73s in a 10r80 car?

Hey all. Has anyone either swapped a 10r80 trans into a 2018 stick car with the 3.73s in it or put 3.73s into their 2018 10r80 car? I got the mt82 and I'm all about banging gears, but in the back of my head I keep kind of wishing I had gotten the 10r80 instead. I'm definitely not trading the car, that would just be silly. I considered swapping the car to an auto but it occurred to me that the 3.73 gears might be too steep for the 10r80 to really perform. Either the gears would be too fast or the shift points would be too awkward for strip use / highway driving, etc.

Thoughts / insights?

Replacing a manual with an auto in any electronic-shifted case is an enormous task. Computer (PCM) must be changed, lots of wiring added, lots of heavy savvy needed, the 3.73s would be the least of your worries. imp
