I want to upgrade power but my cars automatic transmission is definitely going to hold me back, I hear of everyone talking about throwing in the E-153 but what about the automatic transmission for the camry instead? would that work in my car and maybe hold more power than the tranny I have in my car now? I really don't want to go through the hastle of swapping in a manual transmission but if that's my only option I guess I have a while to go considering my limited knowledge of the matter and I having no money. Or what about the Beams automatic transmission, is there anyway to convert that to only fwd rather than have it as the awd.

BEAMS wasn't AWD. If you are going to swap auto transmissions, then it's only a little bit more work to make it a manual, and worthwhile. Besides the transmission swap, you'd just have to install new pedals, shifter linkage, and various other bits and pieces, but it'd be way worth it, and not a whole, whole lot more work.
