Nothing like a 5-speed, auto's are just boring, IMO. If you don't have a lot invested in your current car, it may be cheaper to sell yours and buy a 5-speed one.

Yes, this is possible and what we do for a lot of customers.

Chip or flasher:

Improved fuel economy, more power, improved shifting points, pressure, etc
I have gone this route only with diablo instead of SCT but the man speaks the truth it was money well spent and now the car shifts hard with no tranny mods other than the chip
