#601
I can't believe I just did it! I ordered it from sparks...Man, I was staring at the checkout page for a long time and then I accidentally clicked the "submit" button. So there you guys have it. Another S/C auto on the way...

I better love it! I feel $4,000 poorer! :-(
One of the biggest investment I've done other than my car. I wanna try and get it installed before the 27th so I can make the Wide Open Scion event at Sac Raceway.
I'm not going to tell my girlfriend yet cause she'll get mad at me spending all this money. I'm going to secretly get it installed without her knowing. It doesn't take two days does it?

agreed... i still am not sure i like the fact that some1 who invests $1000 in their car can smoke a guy that invests $4000, plus $500 extra for a different trany...i hope with my current mods (i have a full header exhaust), i think i can hit 200 at LEAST! if i dont... im going to be ____ed!

Nothing wrong with loosing to your girl, as long as she's beating the other guys too...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news....but I'm putting my money on the N/A tC with all the bolt-on goodies. And that's not with ALL the available mods. I'm just talking I/H/E + Pullies. Giving the condition, drivers, A N/A tC with those mods will keep up with a MANUAL S/C tC (only). If it's an Auto S/C tC, the N/A one should result in a victory.
PS...I draw this conclusion from my video archives. Not just something I'm coming off the top of the dome with, I have this on vid of a Manual S/C tC with some really crappy times. Most likely due to driver error, as I we were running better times when we were N/A with just a full exhaust.

ok... i have a monster motorworks header, s-pipe, 2.5 inch exhaust, and a magnaflow muffler... please tell me that if i add a supercharger, i can at least run toe 2 toe with a sc manual... i am looking for someone to say that my extensive muffler setup will compensate for the parasitic loss of the auto tranny... or not...
#613
i guess we'll jus have to find out huh smoke? mayb pete know's someone in houston with a modded 5 spd, cuz i've only met 3 other SL members in houston.

I've witnessed a Manual S/C setup (only) pump out 186whp on a dyno. You pumping out 170whp = a very close race. This is why I believe what I believe about Auto S/C tC vs. Manual modded N/A tC.

ok..12 am..bored..so i decided to take my bumper off! lol. i actually needed to fix it cuz it was outta line. so i touched it up a bit and while waiting for it to dry, i look around the engine. and look what i found..
i hav no snorkel attached to my airbox. i circled the filter. that's looking up at the air box from the fender. so this whole time i think i've been using air that is more direct from the engine bay..
another thing i noticed. actually my bro noticed..
thats the t-tap that hooks up the boost line. it wasnt tightened with anythin and he tugged on the line, and it came right off. i guess trd felt it wasnt necessary to include somethin to tighten these lines down . but he's giving me the white clamp that u see on the left. it should hold it much better then the stock.
