99-04 gt auto hellion single turbo help?
Im about to order a hellion power systems single turbo set up for my 02 gt automatic. I was wondering if there is anyone in here that has a 99-04 gt auto with the same system on there car. if so i have a few questions. First off i was wondering if there was any trouble installing the system being that its an automatic? also how much boost can you put down safely? and how much power does that amount of boost put to the tires. did you have to get get your transmission built and if so what all is done to it? A big question i have is how big of a stall should i get? thanks in advanced

At 8 psi he will be over that... So this statement is wrong. Turbos are way more efficient that a supercharger, that being so they will make more power. I dont know if you will have any fitment issue. Best bet is to called helion directly and ask. You can put 8-9 psi safely. That will put you over 400 rwhp, my guess near 430-450 rwhp. Your transmission will hold but you might get converter slip. I do when i spray so im getting a new stall converter and im not at that power, yet
. Mine is a daily driver and im going with somewhere between 3500-3700 stall. Pick something that will best suit your needs. Is your car a daily driver?

if you go over 400 rwhp with an auto you are just asking for trouble the amount of drive train loss between an auto and a manual is a decent amount. you can go 430 rwhp with a manual and may be fine but with an auto that is a ticking time bomb

Incorrect. The stock internal go due to pressure not power. There is less pressure in the chamber with a turbo at the same psi because there is no parisitic loss from a supercharger. You can essentially run more efficiently and run more power than a supercharger while keeping less pressure inside the chamber. I have seen tons of GT's over 500 rwhp on stock bottom end. With turbos and superchargers. Highest i have ever heard about was 532...
