What can't i do?

I read in a previous post that you can't add many performance parts on an automatic compared to a manual. Why? What are those parts that i can't add?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

You can't put an AEM CAI on an auto because of the placement of the tranny I think.

<< u cant do short shift >>


This is very true, i have an automatic and i don't have a short shifter[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
Its all good though. You can do nearly anything as the same as the manuals, but the transmission is way different. You loose major HP with the drive train. You CAN get a CAI if you realy wanted one from Injen, but i hear SRI is BETTER for autos. have fun[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

if you bought an automatic why bother with the performance end of it....your already a full second slower in 0-60 than the stick....read or race one.....
