    go a manual mate, much more fun plus it can be just as fast at the drags if ya know how to drive it.

    you wont regret going to manual

    the stally may be a bit high.
    You would need to find out the rev range of the cam and the rev limit in your chip.
    it would be a waste if the cam started to work at say 2k - 4.5k and the stally is 3.5k.

    You lose less power through the drivetrain with a manual, since your after power, manual would be the go.

    Although a clutch is always fun (and moreso in a car with 200rwkw)
