Can Auto stock trans handle 500whp safely?

Upping the line pressure and a beefier trans cooler to minimize heat is a good idea.

heard good things about them and they are in PA so i gotta like them.....even though its near philly

my car has never seen actual "automode" i only drive in manual. everyday i only use the shifter and when at the track or driving hard i'll use the paddles. just in those situations where 2 hands on the wheel seems appropriate lol

yea man trust me every AT owner has had this at some point.

thats the main reason i gave up on boost a long time ago. whats the point of boosting a 7AT when i lose the top 3 gears in the trasmission. you can get them back for $6000 in a stage 4 tranny from GTM (if they actually send it back and not just take you money lol).
