Is SC ok for an auto?
Has anyone SC"ed their auto? I'm seriously thinking about it. I just hit 100k miles on my Max. And she's holding up real good. I commute 120 miles a day,so will the SC be reliable? I've got all the basic bolt-ons. Now I just need more power Plus I'd love to dust my cocky friend's new TL

Sure, you can s/c an auto. Maybe you should invest in a vb mod, and a tranny cooler? As far as how reliable it is, its pretty reliable depending on the condition of your car. Some people have no problems, some blow their tranny's within a few months, and some blew their tranny's right after the install while backing it out of the shop.

I haven't find anyone in Philly that'll do a vb mod yet. If you know where I can get that done please let me know. Thanks Woo
