FACT
yea i really wanna know who said this...
The only problem with automatic transmissions is in STOCK form it will transfer less power to the wheels than a manual transmission but your motor still has the same amount of power as you would if had a manual. The fix for autos is to pretty much get a bigger torque converter to match the amount of power you have and driveability you want...I have yet to do this, I'll probably be doing boost before I do this though.

by getting a larger torque converter, would the tranny be able to take more power??? i read somewhere here the tranny max handling power is around 300.. would that allow for more??? =D =D or any ideas????

I gotta say its about time that happened, great job, NEWBS PAY ATTENTION!!!
But yeah, auto and boost does have some benefits like not losing as much boost between gears
not losing as much. you dont lose any boost when an auto shifts. i ran 10 psi and stayed right on 10psi through shifts and all.
auto tranny is alot more consistent than a manual cuz its doesnt miss shifts and shifts fast.
a built or tuned auto tranny will also cut out power lose and be more reliable

Yeah...you don't lose any boost at all between gears because you don't have to lift off the throttle to shift.

Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
me too

ok heres a good question.
how many rpms can the TC go for? id like to do a little top end work this winter and wanna know what power band i should aim for.
Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
my suggestion, figure out exactly what you are doing with the motor first, firuge out if you are running street tires, dot or full slick, and get a converter based on that
if you can't find a regular company that makes one, I think precision industries will make them to order. and there are some places out there that make custome converters from scratch that can help you

when you beat someone in a civic people wine and make excuses
when you beat someone in a cavalier they pull over and check under thier hoods
i dont wanna drop in a new tc. if i pull (blow up) my auto id rather stick a 5speed in. im just wondering if i build up my valvetrain for high revving if the stock one can handle it. cuz no1can see the kid in the automatic cavalier beating ANYONE
