David, Have you made any improvements to an automatic to change it over from
a slug to a Peppy Gonzales. I have.

I've heard some people say that an auto trans doesn't last long with the
added horsepower, so i've been debating on whether to do it or not.  As you
said the stock prv in an auto is quite the slug.

Stage II for someone in the area. It was an automatic.
One of the valve adjusters had loosened up and backed out and was
laying on the head under the valve cover. Had NO power and made a loud
clacking noise. Once I put it back and checked the other valves it ran
nice. Slightly louder than a stock car but it definately had some
extra "pulling" power! If I had a Delorean and the engine melted down
I would consider putting one in. It seemed to be a good fit for the
automatic. If you don't bash on it the transmission should last. In
the automatic the torque convertor helps to smooth things out so you
don't have the sudden shock loads like a 5-speed if you were to "dump"
on the clutch. My guess is the gas mileage would be some amount less
than a stock PRV. The performance roughly would equal the stock PRV in
a 5-speed. The stock PRV with an automatic is a "slug".
