Gas Monkey garage Hemi swap

When I spoke with Aaron at last year's BBORR, he was well aware of the tuning issues with the hemi's and transmissions. He doesn't like doing auto tranny's with hemi's, and really prefers not to do them at all.

I haven't seen the show yet. But I'm sure they made a bigger deal out of 'surprises' they ran into than they really were. Did they go auto?
