Default Is the S/C for an automatic Tc worth buying??

Ive got an automatic tc, w/ a few mods, and i was looking into buying the s/c.
I've heard from outside sources that it is, and some say that it isnt (worth buying). I know its not going to increase hp that much. Just wondering if anyone has the s/c on an automatic tc, and what they think of it??
btw already searched and didn't find anything useful.
Thankx

Default S/C

Well, it will give you up to 25% increas in HP so it's up to you whether or not it's worth it.

i have a s/c on my 06 auto and i think its worth it. it def. wakes up the auto. the fastest i had mine was 15.32 in the 1/4 and i was pretty much stock. when it was just an intake and exhaust, i had it at 16.2 so i was pretty happy with the addition of the s/c.

A guy on our Team has it on his Auto and his car is much faster than any of ours with IHEP mods........much faster.......we can barely keep up.....and he now has a blow off and it sounds even better when he shifts.

dont have a auto but i think it's worth it. i have a 5 speed and it does make driving a bit more fun. if i were you i would consider putting on header and s pipe before the s/c. it will give you alittle more hp on top of the s/c. trust me you dont want to add header after the s/c is installed. it will be a PITA to put it on after. good luck boosting.

will the dealer that installs the s/c frown on an individual who brings their tC in for the install if they have aftermarker headers? might want to look into that as well.

A dealer will install anything because its work and money to them. They could care less whats on it.

nah dont do it.....

but make sure you ask around from people local to you to find out which dealership has had the most experience with installing the s/c.

I have a s/c auto tc.If you put the s/c on stock its kinda boring.At least get the bypass valve to wake it up a little.My set up is getting kinda wild now and my cars pretty quick for a four cylinder.
