I have been thinking about K-Pro alot lately too for my AT. Please have a detailed post with all the mods and tuning and everything! I want to know what an AT can do!!

But i have some questions:
My friends keep saying its useless to do any power mods on an AT, what's your take on that? Why not do a manual swap? Or switch to a MT TSX for the SC?
Is your AT transmission going to hold? Do you need to bulletproof it and rebuild it?

Thanks!

Just to update. I did receive the Hondata but I still haven't installed it yet. Sorry guys for the teaser, but I realized then that I could not leave my car while the ECU gets shipped to hondata. I'll be on vacation mid July and will attempt to get it installed.

I will denifinitely post once installed and tuned.

Thanks for your patience.

Thats because most muscle guys don't know how to drive manual or think that their cars are quick enough already or the muscle cars are very hard to find with MT.

Buick GN's back in 87' were AT, and many modded to over 500HP At the wheels. You cannot shift a man. as fast as the auto can. Some pulling 10's in the 1/4.

No. Its because a computer shifts faster than a brain. Also its because most muscle cars are built for a quarter mile.

Yes, most of the muscle guys in my neighborhood either think that they are quick enough or simply dont know how to drive.

Auto is better when we speak of drag race and boost. Autos don't lose boost when they shift. TSX is a totally different story. We don't push 500HP and only few are boosted. Losing boost for a split of a second is better than 15-20 HP that AT takes away + we simply dont need to shift that fast as we rarely race in straight lines.

Its my opinion thought
