install an tranny oil cooler and go light boost. Just don`t attempt to do a regular 200ish horse setup.

I think it would be less of a headache in the end if you just did a 5speed swap.

i agree . or if you want a spare automatic trans i have one that came out of a 92-95 d15 your more than welcome to it all it is ais a boat anchor in my hands. The 5 speed is not that hard to do you need to ht that ---- and find out what parts you need. i know that cars that came automatic came with a little bit of a more agressive cam also but thats what i heard so if its true thats a plus for you.
