ITS AN ENGINE!
not an air box - there is a ram air type of airbox that may be called the rev up airbox - but that doesn't change the fact that the kit you would need is for non rev up.
YOU DO NOT HAVE A REV UP ENGINE IN YOUR A/T CAR!
I am done trying to help you as you already know everything.

There are rev-up and Non Rev-up engines... you have a non rev up.
The Rev up is only in the 2006+ 6MT's...
So you would want a SC kit for a non rev up engine. I am not sure what you are referring to with a rev up air box...
Honestly - i think you have alot more to learn about the car and F/I in general before i would recommend SC'ing your car... I am fairly certain i have seen a Vortech on an automatic before, probably takes some minor modifications i would imagine. Do you have a local shop that you could go and talk with?
What are your power goals?
What is your budget?
What other mods do you have or do you plan to purchase?

REV Up engine is different than the airbox. You may have the airbox - you do not have the engine.
I think you should look at turbo and not SC if you are looking for 500 HP... To push 500 HP with a Vortech you are talking a ton of supporting mods - the 2.87 pulley and an upgraded trim of Vortech supercharger plus a built engine.
To reach 500 HP and maintain reliability you will need to build the engine.

I found this one what do you think? http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...on.php?pvk=912
You should look at the Tuner kit as it will allow you the ability to customize the injectors, EMS and fuel pump which you will need to do in order to get to 500HP...
Assaultech is a sponsor here and they are a vortech distributor - Dan@assaultech (username on this forum) can help you out with anything Vortech related.

But for me - if i was gonna build the engine, which i feel is necessary to push 500 HP and have any hope of it lasting, i would go turbo since you can get some insane power numbers with the twin turbo set-ups that the SC can't really approach without spending insane amounts of money...

Yes, you can reach 400WHP with an Automatic. There is a local guy here in Houston, name is Christian, that has reached that with his Vortech. But that is with having to do some modding and added extra stuff to his Vortech tuner kit.
I would definitely take Kevin's advice and do more research on what else you will need for a 5AT SC build up.
Remember, that once you fall to the dark side of FI, you WILL encounter minor problems and glitches along the way. Kevin is learning that now as we speak.
Just don't end up like this guy, for the love of God.

Absolutely.
The key will be your supporting mods such as headers, high flow cats or test pipes, exhaust and a plenum spacer and the TUNE for sure.
Not sure how much power you would lose with the auto transmission, but you can get very close to that number.
You might also consider the V-3 kit as it doesn't require you to tap the oil pan as it uses it's own oil not the engine oil like the V2 does.

Do you think the V-3 is a better more reliable SC than the V-2
Also Im thinking of getting the Fast Intentions Resonated Test Pipes with an HKS Hi Power Exhaust. But as far as headers IDK which brand to go with cause im looking for something reliable. and plenum im going with motordyne 5/16 i think it is. I just don't know any good good headers to get for the G35. Any Suggestions?

And I don't see and V-3 for an A/T in the Vortech Section. Heres the link. http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=118 you can see the A/T systems in there also. But by all means if you see that one with the V-3 please post the link. BTW thank you for all your help sorry about the disagreement we had i misunderstood my fault lol. add me also

i don't know if i would say it is more rleiable - but it doesn't require taping the oil pan. It uses it's own oil which appeals to some people...
Can't go wrong with Stillen or Nismo - search on here for headers and read what others have to say - may have to get a couple pages into the search results to find an answer...
