It's really hard to say. This combination has been run by other people that still have an automatic transmission, but I'm not privy to what they've done to make drivability acceptable.
I will say that part of the challenge is tuning limitations when sticking with the factory PCM and the limited tuning options that come with it. Let's face it - support for this platform from HPTuners is basically the bare minimum. I could probably make it much friendlier by switching to a stand-alone, but I can't fathom making that kind of investment.
