If you have to ask these questions, you really shouldn't do it until after youv'e done some SERIOUS research on how to use n2o. Still, yes you can do it w/auto.

I'm staying away from Nitrous. saimply because I'll get myself into trouble.
However, nitrous can be pout onto an auto. Only mods you would need are intake upgrades...short ram or cold air....also it is recommended that you upgrade your spark plugs for better spark...your choice though.

Actually I heard that turbos are better for autos too. So it looks like I could hook up nitrous and turbo. Hehe. Seriously, all of those people out there who believe that you have to have a manual for performance, think about that.

a manual is still better.... direct power vs a fluid torque convertor... people say autos are good b/c you dont have to let off when shifting but any good manual driver knows how to bang through the gears w/o losing precious power

Did everyone here already read about the nx kit in the diy section. Damn thats alot of power and torque for our cars. I think I'm still scared of destorying my engine thou. But the voices keep telling me to do it.

i think auto for drag is better. takes the guesswork out of everything, just mash and go. for autocross, there is no doubt. manual is better. flat out more control of the car.

however, the auto is great, cause you got that small gap while everything sets itself up inside the tranny. that way your running a FAT [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] turbo, so while everything is pausing for the smallest second and reving up to speed when your off the line with a junky start, the other guy thinks he is winning, what is REALLY happening is your turbo is just spooling up [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

then your turbo hits and you go flying [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] youll see him in your rearview mirror doing this haha

id use more technical terms than "stuff" and "junky" but im the village idiot this is all hearsay, i cant back this up, it was handed down to me by the higherups

well an auto is generally less efficient so more power is lost, and if you know how to dump clutches, power shift, and actually drive a stick you can hand an auto its *** on a platter

neother ones better then the other, it all depends on the driver and everything. i went to the tracks and ran a 17 and my friends were running 15's but they respected me cause i had an auto and was getting the best launches out of all of them. i had 2.4's and they were getting 2.8's so they respected that part. and they know once i get my nx kit ill be right there with them.
