two things:

1) autos are the best to type of car to turbo. they can shift faster than anyone, especially with a computer to tell them to SLAM it into gear.

2) what do you mean by "mod?"

I disagree. A good manual driver can shift faster than a normal auto tranny.

Forced Racing, I believe makes or is making a torque convertor for BETA engine.

As for the tranny deal.

Manual should be faster then a stock auto.

But an auto made for race duty is gonna blow a 5spd guy away.

in the uprange of 500hp, it s probably more fun to hang on and just hit the gas.
