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.

Thanks for your input. I'll be sure to go over everything with the tech.
One thing I have learned through all of this is that the tech I am using at IPS is incredibly good at what he does and he hasn't steered me wrong yet. He has assured me that I'll have a really good street car as well as an excellent drag race car. I'll keep you posted as things progress.
