you want your auto to beat manual trans cars you need to:

1. tune the trans and get a converter
2. get the exhaust to flow
I would agree.......when my L99 gets here its going in for AR Headers and Exhaust, cai, tune, and maybe a cam......will have to think about the converter.....but if its night to day difference then we may have to add it....
