to be honest most of the supercharger kits barely make any big power on the Z. i've seen a few put up decent numbers but most are just ehhhh with the SC kits.

i guess 7AT and a SC would survive.

this is why i cant go boost lol TT kit only and 500whp min would be my target
Yes and no, I believe shumby was the first 7AT with the GTM stage 1 SC and he blew his tranny making the same power as me (400HP/340TQ). He would drive his car hard so it took a beating but honestly anything much over bolt ons for the auto is a ticking time bomb.

It could just be that first time you drive hard and shift 4-5 while still on the throttle and it pops, it really boils down to the extra TQ it seems. I have seen the TT guys with auto with more HP do ok but you have to watch out for the TQ and those upper gears.

yea i guess it comes down to every tranny being slightly different. same thing with stock blocks too. some guys have been DD'ing on 12psi of boost for 50k miles with zero issues and other guys have blown blocks NA lol

i get the slight throttle blip when shifting 4-5 in my 7AT.

Yeah, and Shumby had his SC back when I got mine so that was early development of Uprev (2010), so no tranny adjustments were out yet I believe, those changes are fairly recent.

I would love to get a write up from someone who has messed with the Uprev transmission tuning for the 7AT. Not what they changed, but more so what the adjustments could do. Changing line pressure settings = XYZ results sort of right up.
