no worries slice, autos are easily capable of big gains as well....if you cant stand it, trade in for a manual and take the loss

A whipple at 10psi will shut him up real good.

Check out the Ford Racing Whipple rated at 500HP (I hear it's actually 475 though).

Absolutely you can make 300+rwhp with an auto. Went the supercharger route which will set you back about $5000 - $6000 depending on which type you go with.

I cant afford supercharger right now. Heavyg , do you think a custom dyno tune is the route to go or should I just buy a tuner/cia combo and do it myself?
