Try using correct spelling & punctuation when you post. You are going to lose most of your audience after the first "im" instead of taking the time to spell "I'm."

I'll ignore the grammar and suggest that you look through our Wiki for a few hours. There is a link to it on the main 2GNT site: http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=Cars
My car used to be automatic and I went through years of upgrades before finally swapping in a manual transmission. It was the best thing I ever did and I recommend that it be on your top ten list (not number one, but still in the top ten). To my knowledge, no mapping of the ECM is available for our cars, especially not an automatic ECM. At some point, you could purchase an ECM for specific year manual transmission cars with slightly modified ignition curves. It was not tunable, so not worth much in my opinion. The easiest way to get power is bolt on a turbo kit. A low boost kit can get you a lot more power without a lot of mods. To raise the boost, you have to shell out a lot more money for supporting modifications and things get expensive in a hurry. Been there.
