I'm thinking that the auto will be fun for awhile- my SVX trans has the manual mode also for exploring the upper limits of the rpm range. I'm toying with the idea of a turbo for the 3.3, just a low pressure T3/T4 hybrid so I can turn up the boost if the engine gets an overhaul with lower compression pistons later on. Even with low boost, the auto will help the car by shifting faster and less loss of boost pressure- it should sound pretty cool too! Acceleration will be muy grande! I've got a complete and running SVX now and plan on using a bunch of the equipment and very little of the 914 wiring- it's old and brittle (like me apparently) so newer wiring will be welcome and safer. I'll hide it all somewhere I suppose... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
