I agree about the I/C but as of right now, Whipple does not make an intercooledkit/tune for the auto. Perhaps a dyno tuner could do it for me though?

My mistake, the auto cars come with a large factory trans cooler, should be more than adequate, its sandwiched between the condenser and radiator. The Whipple is non intercooled would probably be great without worrying about trans and bottom end problems, you will void your factory warranty though.

I've heard and read several times that the auto is only relyable to about 400rwhp. Past that, upgrades are needed to make it more durable. 2 of the upgrades i know about are a torque converter and a deeper transmission pan that can hold more oil/fluid. A transmission cooler would also help but i haven't been able to find one for 05-07s. What other upgrades are needed for transmission peace of mind with a forced induction setup?

Since I'm an auto, I've narrowed my choices to the following 3 S/Cs. Which would you guys choose and why? I use my car on weekends for cruising and car shows March through Dec. After long consideration of KB I opted out b/c I aint cuttin' my car. Thanks for everyone's input.

Thats untrue... there are many autos running in the 500 range. And this new auto is able to withstand more tq than the manual. Dont mistake a trans few failures for a mass problem. But yes you are correct that upgrading it will help it.
