I have driven FoMoCo automatics for years and have always shifted manually when I am "playing"... especially on wet or sandy roads...

The first thing an automatic does when the tires loose traction is DOWNSHIFT!

To this end, the new trannys do not need old school shift kits, but the shift pressures can be stiffened up with tuners like you mentioned.

The B&M setup is ghastly ugly and the Street Fighter doesn't ratchet downward like the old B&Ms did... unless they fixed that oversight since the last time I checked?

The stock shifter is pretty damn robust if you ask me!!

I have been manually shifting it for 140,000+ miles and there still is NO slop in the shifter.

It may not be the greatest, but it gets the job done.
