Can you tune any automatic to handle that level of power with the same reliability, assuming the transmission is of the same fitness level?
I sat next to Hardk0re's car after last night's G2G... and listened, and inspected, and inspected and listened some more... and now I can't get it out of my head!
I'd have to save every extra cent... and I know he has the FS/VF Engineering S/C... but the principal idea is the same: mount S/C, attach hardware/hoses, install bigger injectors, install safe tune, datalog, retune... right?
The whole "livability of the ATX" thing has always killed any ideas of really tweaking the SPI. That, and I could lose a week to installing and tuning it... but it has to become a daily driver again after that. No ifs, ands or buts. If it can't, S/C is out.
She's going to kill me... and I apologize for the thread-jacking.
