What kind of times are you pulling in the 1/4?

Imo it really matters. My first time I only pulled a 17.2 and was pretty embarassed that the civic/integra kids from my school were pulling mid to low 16's. However, it was my first time and I know I could've done better had I done a few other things. I totalled my car and just got it back all fixxed so I'll know soon enough.

I also saw a turbo a/t 2gnt a week or so ago only pull a best of 15.8 out of about 4 runs. I'm not sure if he had any tranny mods but thats kind of embarassing imo considering I watched VX100 pull a mid/low 15 in his NA car on opening night at the dragway where the conditions were actually much worse. Btw, VX100 sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi, but there were like 500 people there

I mean, I've toasted a few m/t in my town and embarassed them quite badly for knocking my auto but if getting a m/t swap will make me a full second faster (that would be 16.2 currently), then I don't see why not. Especially since its about $500. Thats about the cost of an exhaust right there and I gaurantee an exhaust wont make you a full second faster.

So, if you're pulling a mid to high 14 in your turbo car then I say more power to the auto. But if you're not, then you'll get that w/ a m/t probaly.

Just my 2 cents.
