That's exactly right, to make the auto faster than the manual from straight stock is about a $1000-$1500 4.88 install all said and done. That gets rid of the bog at launch and drops the 0-60 down to manual levels and then some, that's a well documented 2+ second improvement and will also feel like you've gotten a serious power boost. I plan to have that as my last investment into this car modding wise other than maintenance and repairs next summer, you've got to understand the trade offs are well worth the advantages for an N/A auto car, for FI auto you're going to want to get something between 4.30-4.56. It may be the most invasive non engine mod to the auto outside of some of the suspension work because you'll have to find someone who can properly install it and worst case will keep the car down for 2 days
