Depends on the automatic. A crisp shifting auto with the right converter will probably show improvements everywhere on the track.

A sloppy trans, or the wrong converter, and you'll most likely see lower mph, sluggish 60', and the ET will suffer.

PTC knows their stuff. They use mostly TCI parts in their transmissions and their converters are really nice. Not to mention they are good ol' Alabama Folks!
