I thought the Vortech SC was only for the 6MT?

I have a Vortech sedan 5AT

Hey check out the thread "Vortech Running 10psi" and you will see my dyno and pictures of the car. Also posted is the long list of modifications that I did to my car. Just to let you know, I had a nightmare with the vortech install on my car. All the problems were with the computer and trying to make it adaptable for the 5AT. So I contacted a company called Grubbs Infiniti, and I decided to use there piggy back ECU and it works great now.

I have to say that after 3300 miles I have had zero problems with my setup, thanks to a great install by Steve(G352NV), I am running the SS box and have no issues with any timing related problems.
Power is great and pretty impressive, very linear which is just the way it should be.

Have any of you with the Vortech AT's upgraded your torque converter or built the tranny? Because I myself am seriously looking to getting the kit and the only thing stopping me is reliability with the tranny. I've read from numerous sources that the Tranny is good for 600hp.

Taken directly from Vortech's site:

Satin System Shown. Legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway, currently this system has only been released for cars with manual transmissions.
