manual swap

Those would help, but remember in the end you're only going to see ~80% of the gains you would with a manual.

The Camden supercharger seems like it would be the way to go with an auto, since it'll give you your power down low. How high do the auto's rev out before shifting?

Thanks guys! I've got some transmission guys that are gonna disect a valve body for me to get the "shift kit" hard chirping shifts. Tighten up that converter a bit and she might be good to go!
