Mate two posts asking the same thing... you posted this in the 400rwkw section, just see what others have done, if you can't find your answer here theres something wrong..

Auto or manual? Manuals will read more power than autos with the same mods, less drivetrain loss.. Whats better, that's a personal choice, what do u like better? you gonna take the car to the drag strip? A 6sp manual will need a decent clutch and the auto if a ZF might budget to strengthen it, but with the new tuning available maybe they can be tuned to take more power. If a BTR (4 speed) auto, not much can be done to hold 400rwkw's and be reliable, again look at what others have done and go from there..

oh sh*t sorry about the double post didnt mean to do it in the other section aswell.. must of hit the wrong button lol. and as for wat I prefer I love driving manuals but I had heard someone say once an auto will handle greater power alot easier than a manual but if just getting a stronger manual will do ill def be goin manual. and it will be getting taken to the strip mostly

It's the other way round actually, manual should hold more power with a good clutch behind it. Go the manual if that's what you want.
