The trany has 100's of more hp to contain. Does not matter if you are just cruzing or pushing to the limit. The trany offically has more work to do which = more stress on components = more heat. The auto trany seriously needs an overhaul for this kind of app if you ask me. 6spd FTW if you plan on going FI, but auto suits some better, but they will just have to fork out a couple extra bucks to make the auto trany truly ready to take on the added power with no worries at all.
