Put four grand into the auto , get a turbo / turbo housing, injectors pump work, exhaust ,gut the airbox, free flow filter. go with DTT trans up grades.

I would call Joe Webb at SunCoast and get a tranny upgrade. He's the best in the business in my opinion.

You can then add some fuel, gauges, and if you keep it reasonable, your stock HX35 will make enough air to be a great tow rig. You will also want to make sure the dowel pin has been fixed.

Good Luck
