Fswerks turbo kit work with autos.... The weakest point in the auto is it's transmission... You'd want to keep wtq down if you want your tranny to last... But they're there

If you upgrade the tranny to something like LEVEL10 Transmissions then you can easily put down crazy whp. Turbo Tom has/had an AUTO focus!

The cost isn't that bad really....if you add up a new clutch/flywheel/lsd+labour then your pretty close to a built auto transmission....and the auto will destroy equivalent manual at the 1/4 track....

Upgrade the Torque Converter and the Solenoids from Ford Racing if they still make them and you should be fine. It will show lower numbers but it will be faster down the line.

even online says it is for manual, it is not true, when randy(fswerks) sent me instruction for datalogging, it showed instruction for auto transmission as well.

It will be fine, the shifts may be a little more "firm" but its only going to command hard shifts under load....
