Yeah I might just do that Jamie. I wanted auto for the better half, and besides a built auto sounds hilarious and I can't think of anyone I know that is actually running a built 4F27E.
As for the comment about not wanting a "mule", it's all on me at that point. You tune the engine as you would for the manual, you adjust the shift points as you would anyhow - which they already offer as part of their performance tune out of the box. The pipe fitting is on me, and like I said. I literally have two shops across the parking lot from each other that can do the exhaust reworking. FSWerks' extra work at this point is precisely zero.
I was just a little stunned by his answer... and I've yet to have a reply, almost a week later.
The bottom line is, sadly, it doesn't really matter. I can buy a header, intake, TB, exhaust, race cat and tune for that and be done with it. I could then turn around next year, buy another RX-8 and go insane with that. I just figured I had the chance to do something odd and to hell with reason, I'd do it because it could be done... and I still might. Hell, I'd do the lower-spec Lentech setup (for 175WHP) with the bolts on just because.
