Nobody can outshift an aftermarket auto tranny and that's for sure. I laugh at people with auto (and I own one, and beat the shit out of it) but for Imports, auto trannies are garbage, but on big old V8 for domestics, auto trannies with a shift kit is a cool thing to have!

Also when turboing cars (doesn't apply to greg as his was sc) an auto, you dont need to take your foot off gas, so the plenum in tb never closes which i believe would mean no turbo lag after 1st gear
Yeah auto holds boost much better
