i think you will find it a mistake to swap that auto for the NV. the more hands on the wheel, the better! even at 1/4 throttle, taking one hand off to bump my manual gate or lock it up is scary as hell. this will be the 5th season ive had the car on the road and i haven't once put the pedal down past 1/2 for more than a second. i hope you know what you've built yourself! haha!
