As a fellow AT owner, I know how horribly crippled the OEM AT is compared to the MT. An AT is geared much taller, and the engine has to work harder to accelerate. The toughest thing to do is tune for shift-ability. Shifting manually is more prone to lag, or whiplash, after a shift, and it takes a spot-on tune to prevent that. Specifically, the PI/DI tables have to be DI only in the rpm range after the shift, and PI and DI in the rev before the shift. A custom tune can make your car much easier to drive in traffic, if it's done right.
