Okay I'm planning a auto/manual swap soon, I remember it was said here by someone that the gear ratios for the manual tranny are much better than the auto, and that's the main reason for the lack of power in the auto. But I was wondering are the differentials the same? Should I look into getting a VSD as opposed to the standard LSD, will it make that much of a difference in launches?

Someone mentioned to me that I will need to get the differential re-geared to fit the new tranny set up. Never heard of this...any info would be great.
