What do you mean? As long as it's not tranny related, all mods work for both . ..

I agree. Most of the questions/concerns in this forum are generic.

The only non-trannie mod that may have an impact on whether you have an auto or stick is gears. All other issues are pretty generic.

The auto is pretty much the same as the GTs in later years -same stuff applies, Shift Kit, higher stall converter, cooling, etc.,

The biggest improvement (though expensive) would be to move to a 2500 rpm stall on the converter. I wouldn't do it until the tranny was dead, though . ..

On the 99+ 4.10's, a good tranny cooler, a modified valve body (J-Mod preferred), and possably a higher stall convertor ( 3,000 rpm or so) will make a huge difference.
Being 99+ you will need a chip or tuner to recalibrate for the gears.

I agree 100% about the cav. and civic... but why fix up the 6 when you can buy a 8? I just cant justify doing minor boltons, knowing that a stock GT will still kill my car. I have dual exhaust and intake, but I've done that with the last 3 vehicles I've owned.

It's all in what you want.

With the right mods the six can be very fun and suprise a lot of people.
