Are there any Supercharger or turbo kits for 5AT ???
If not then the only mods id have would be intake, exhaust, and headers??!?!
What about brake kits?

Does having an 5AT limit myself to what can be done?

If you wish

What about brake kits?
Plenty

Does having an 5AT limit myself to what can be done?
No, just need extra precautions

Using the search button really helps....

 

Just so you know...my Vortech S/C goes in my 2005 5AT coupe tomorrow. So yes...it can be done! There are precuations needed. I posted this before but I'll post it again.

Forgot to mention that if you have an AT...there are three additional precautionary things you can do to help save your tranny from the newfound stress: (I am just learning these so if I am mistaken, please somebody correct me as I hate to give out incorrect info)

1. Valve Body Upgrade - This modification tinkers with the pressure and springs inside the tranny to firm up the shifting. Our cars are set with a soft luxury type shifting. This is great for your grandmother's Cadillac but not good in FI applications. I also believe it creates more heat during that time it is engaging so by firming it up, it helps keep it cooler. More on heat later on. As of now, Stillen, Level 10 and SGP make the VB upgrade for our tranny's. Lets take them in order to save you some searching time.

a. Stillen is decent but folks who have gotten the upgrade have not seen that much of a change in firmness. Most feel the firmness on the downshifting (in MM Mode).

b. Level 10 makes one but have a bad reputation. Both in the product and in the customer service arena. I would avoid them if possible.

c. SGP makes a valve body but couldn't find anybody who had one on. Though SGP is very reputable around these forums. They have, however, in the last couple of days, announced that they are making a complete overhaul of the VB and not just making simple changes (ala Level 10 and Stillen). This is most likely going to be your best option, however, SGP has yet to announce its availability and pricing just yet. Stay tuned. The test mule right now is GrugenPB and you can find his posts about this new valve body here:

Both threads have videos to download (both in MM Mode and Auto Mode).


2. Next tranny mod to learn about is the Torque Converter. I know even less about TC than VB but I'll give it a shot. The TC will be most beneficial from a dead stop (ala drag strip or stop light). It lets you set higher stall RPM's and transfer the energy quicker. Some folks on here are very knowledgable when it comes to stall settings and TC. Find them and ask. Two reputable companies who can help with a TC upgrade is Protorque and Edge Racing. TC can also alleviate heat form the tranny. There are two main things that kill our AT's; Too much torque and heat. Since you are getting the Vortech (as am I), too much torque probably wont be an issue as that really affects the turbo guys. But heat will be an issue for most FI applications. Which leads us to mod #3.

3. Tranny Cooler. These are relatively cheap and can help keep your tranny cool. There are many different kinds and different sizes available. I bought the 24,000 GVW B&M model from jegs.com:

I know I just barely scratched the surface, but I hope this helps you. There are many threads about these mods and I certainly urge you to read up and learn about them. And if I have made any mistakes...please correct me. Thanks.

 

So for the 5AT to be supercharged, id have to invest in more mods? so therefore be looking more towards $6k or so???
Also would i have to ALWAYS drive the car in SPORT SHIFT??

Thanks for the feedback...

 

You're looking at much more than 6K! Even without additional mods it will be more than 6K (unless you plan to install SC yourself).
