I'm curious about the auto now have you looked into if it can be built up or upgraded like a mild stall converter and a full manual valve body? that would be pretty tight to if it barked the tires at every gear change. Those Aussies may have developed something like that and the VH45 is a pretty popular engine down under as far as performance development for imports goes

There are some mods that can be done. Manual would be seriously fun but the modded auto would be much cheaper and easier for sure. One small thing I have done is wire up a relay to the wide open throttle switch that disconnects a "dropping resistor" that's on the trans computer. It ups the pressure to the valve body and makes for really solid shifts while under full acceleration. Sometimes I'll disconnect the resistor full time and it shifts solid all the time and will chirp the tires from 1-2 when I'm in that mode. I've been planning to make a little switch panel which will have a switch to disconnect the resistor, stage 1/2 boost, 2-way ECU program switcher, etc. I'm sure it's much harder on the trans but it feels so much better to drive.
