Ya know, I never really considered swapping to a manual, I know the ohh-ahh factor would be up there, but from everything I've read the NV4500 doesn't like to be power shifted, I dunno, not sure of any of that is true, it's just what I've read. I looked around briefly today, mostly on eBay, they aren't terribly expensive, but I'll be honest when I say I know I can build my 80e and forget about it once it's installed. It will take any abuse I plan to throw at it, and while the gear ratios aren't as favorable as the 60e, as you mentioned I can stall it up a bit..

Congrats man, I love the Syclone !! It's a neat ass color, I had an Aspen Blue Typhoon back in the day and thats where I met the JSM guys from. Good peeps for sure and excellent quality. I told them if they had plans on selling the 4 link to the Fullsize guys, they should plan for guys throwing 800+hp in a 6000# crewcab with stickies on the back.. LOL, I think they responded appropriately, this will definitely handle the power and it's turning out to be a great mod so far for SCCA autocrossing.. I'm sure you'll be happy with the 3 link for the Syclone, they've sold a bunch of them !
