for me the problem is that I would like to upgrade the intercooler to a front mount,the pre cat to a downpipe and the cat with a high flow one plus I already have a intake and catback installed.Wih all these mods a good aftermarket fuel management system is a must.So converting to a stick seems like the only viable option.
Also I could be mistaken but I thought the rear gearing of 3.9 actually gave our cars less accelaration off the line compared to a 4.1 or 4.3 gear ratio.Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

Mine shifts smoothly... except wen the engine is still cold. So i let it warm for a minute or 2 and then i go and dive it.

My auto shifts hard enough to kick your head back a little if you are not expecting it. When I am just slowly crusing around. I have a T78 and just about every other mod you can think of. Soon to be manual though, I have already ordered my new ACT prolight flywheel and Extreme Street clutch. Will be driving down to Dallas to pick up the rest the parts soon.

w/o power braking how is your car from a stop? I seems like my 88na when I had the 5/6 ports open. Like I can't whip a left u-turn in an auto FD but in an FC the car just loves to slide. On right turns though, It seems I can get enough boost to make it go sideways.

not sure about your other Qs, but it does seem feasible. the ecu is computer controlled, so i think shifts are rpm controlled-so should be ok. speedo would be off a bit.

It will definitely kill top-end speed. Unless you like cruzin at 130 mph doing 6K rpm. But will produce much quicker launch/time and faster 1/4 mile E-T!!

Even though our cars cant use the power fc what about a piggy back to slighty increase the fuel? Like a safc or something? Also I was reading some people are running single turbo kits on an automatic how do you do it with a stock ecu? Last I have read in many diff threads you can use the powerfc you just get a blinking hold light or something to that nature. I could live with that. just my 2 cents

back from the dead! Well I run a single turbo auto and I use a PFC. I guess you could run a single turbo with the stock ecu IF you were VERY and I mean overly cautious that you ran no more than 10psi of boost. The SAFC does not add enough fuel to reliably run a single. PFS piggyback may work. Not sure about greddy emanage, despite initial claims the AEM ecu DOES NOT WORK with auto rx7s.
