Its really not worth it, the stock auto tranny can only hold up to around 320 hp. So unless you plan on upgrading the tranny and somehow be able to use a apexi pfc or standalone with the hold feature, their wont be any interrest. Besides the fact a manual swap would be cheaper, more efficient, and more potent.

I'm thinking a beefed up automatic would be great for drag racing.
I also have a 87 Buick Grand National and the turbo buick V-6 when converted to manual trans just won't work on the dragstrip.
An automatic and turbo works exceeding on the drag strip.
You can build boost at the line against the brake and launch really hard.
You don't need hi revs at launch either, against the brake only a couple of psi of boost.
