With one of these it wont matter what transmission you have.

In general if you add any forced induction an auto can and eventually will cost slightly more then a manual.

I know nothing on this subject. Why though, is the auto slightly more?

Because boost makes autos explode once you get over 400whp or so. It may not be immediate, but eventually it will **** the bed. With a manual, just throw in a new clutch and you're good to go.

The simple non technical reason is that manual transmissions are pretty simple and automatics have much more going on. Simple is usually cheaper then complex. If you want to learn more about transmissions so you can understand the technical reasons why there is a cost difference here are some links.

specifically for an auto transmission? the GTM valve body upgrade and a transmission cooler...if you can fork up the dough for their stage 4 tranny, that'd be sweet.

probably your best upgrade would be a Quaife and a 3.692 or 4.08 final drive gear.

see my review :P
