Mods Tree Before Going For F.I (SC) ?

Since yours in an auto I strongly advise a transmission cooler. There are a few transmissions (auto) that have blown out from the gtm supercharger kit. And if you chose

Since yours in an auto I strongly advise a transmission cooler. There are a few transmissions (auto) that have blown out from the gtm supercharger kit. And if you chose to build the transmission it's going to cost over $6k. Supporting mods just what dreamer said you are going To need. The kit might cost you 8k but your going to néed another 4-6 for supporting mods.

The GTM kit (itself) in all cases was not the cause for the failures. Andrews car had other issue which caused the failure and nissan replaced his transmission under warranty (correct me if i am wrong). Andrew's is really the only transmission I have heard of having a failure. There are tons of AT cars running more HP and TQ. Z1 has a GTM TT kit with well over 10k+ miles on an automatic with an aggressive power output. You are more than safe with the GTM kits Transmission cooler is a good idea anytime you add more power on an automatic transmission.
