Ya thats why Id really like to find a nice auto and start building it, Im in college so money isnt the most vast thing in the world right now. I dont mean legit racing Im just saying I want my truck to be pushing some horses and if one friday night a camaro tries to get frisky Ill be able to leave it. If I ever towed it would be a 15x6 or 8' flat bed trailer. I aint got no rock crawling toys or anything to haul around so theres that.

If you're not racing seriously, then I wouldn't bother with an auto swap. 3rd gear launches aren't that bad if done right, you can spool chargers on the line easier because you can put the RPM's where ever you want. HP for HP, an auto will win. But if you're not doing it every week, then it doesn't make sense to swap.

Tell me what you think of my plans:
First and foremost ill have all maintance up, oil change, trans fluid etc.
Gauges-pyro, trans, FP. Already have a boost.
Then tear into my pump and get it tuned
#0 plate
4gsk w/HD springs
BHAF or some other intake

then save up and get some 90hp sticks.

Thats what id like to get done in the next 3-6 months.

I already have an hx40w and 4in straight pipe turbo back.

Question about the turbo, with the future mods will it spool my 40 up better? I bought it with it on there and it has never really performed well, only gettin 25 maybe MAYBE 30psi at extreme wot. I have an hx35 as well, would that work better with the above mods installed? I can just buy the adapter.
Question #2: My 37's are about at the end of their life, I dont want 37's Id really like 33's or 35's cause I think they look better and they're cheaper. Would 3:55's be in order for me to have optimum performance?
Thanks guys let me know if I should be buying something else along with these mods, its time to wake this puppy up!
What sticks you going with? How much power you want and how much your willing to spend? HX40 are abit on the sluggish side. 4K's need at least valve springs.
