A th400 is pretty much a 4l80 without over drive. You will gain some hp from the swap but it isn't going to be alot the drivability difference though is pretty big. I just can't wrap my head around why they would want to take it out I could see reasons why if you were starting from scratch. There are alot of things you can't do when driving a full manual th400 make sure they go over that with you or you will rebuilding it alot. One example being don't do your burn out in first gear and don't be gearing the car down driving down the road alot.
