Manual swap
Well…I've considered manual swapping my auto brz. Hear me out on why though, I decided to go auto in the first place for many reasons. When I purchased the car it was $9k with 53k miles for a 2013 and that was in 2018. I needed something pretty stock and the manuals were high mileage, overpriced with mods. Also, manuals had their flaws and at the time I knew auto could handle power. Don't get me wrong it handles power great, but with having a built motor e85 and supercharged on high load the computer just takes too long to complete your demands, and that's with an upgraded vb and cooler. It would redline then the engine breaks like crazy. I've heard Kriss at ssp also stated you'll have to tune down a little for the computer to behave right(Lemongrab voice*UNACCEPTABLE!)lol. It's not the mechanical functionality that's the problem it's the computer and it not being cracked yet for tuning. I love the auto but it just doesn't have much support like the manuals do. That leads to my first question. I don't want to swap in stock trans UNLESS it's worth it with a synchro kit and other recommended upgrades. So what is some transmission recommendations that can handle great? Also, any feedback or suggestions would help especially from the ones that have done a swap themselves.

You'll never have to worry about the trans handling the power again.

Been eyeing that for a while definitely may do that swap may cost me roughly 10k including all the manual parts necessary for the swap
