To answer your question, yes!
To detail your question, if you're tired of the automatic or feel like the auto is not performing the way you'd like, then there are two ways to achieve performance.
Option 1: Get a chip installed. It will enhance your cars performance and you can tailor the shift point to your liking.
Option 2: This could get ugly if not done by a professional or at least someone with a clue. Swap the tranny in your car for a manual tranny. When doing this, be prepared to drop at least $1000 and up, depending on where you go and the experience of the people that do it. This option while simple to choose, is a little timely and costly. Basically, it depends on you and what you want to do.
