also do you think super or turbo is better for the AT. mind you this is a glorified daily driver so i want reliability. no whenever i post this question in the normal forums the turbonetics guys trounce everyone with their sheer volume of numbers and tell me how much the supercharges suck and how they are no more reliable than their turbos.

The gradual curve of an SC is much easier on a 5AT than the powerblast of a turbo. I'm having great fun with my ATI Procharger...

Sharif provided the upgraded Vb for my 5AT GReddy TT, as well as tuning, UTEC install and dialing in a higher rev limit.
Very pleased with the results overall. She doesn't hit the fuel cut as much and does shift much, much faster. You will have to acclimate yourself to the little "bump" while upshifting from 1-2 & 2-3 and downshifts during hard braking....but it's a small trade-off IMO.

The last automatic we did was an APS ST G35. The customer didn't do a valve-body or torque converter upgrade. It seems as though daily driven/street cars are holding up just fine so far.
Sharif's VB upgrade seems fairly priced as well though. With the total amount spent on going FI...I don't see how the extra money for upgrading the VB could hurt. It's definitely worth it.

SGP valve body works great on my Z and I'm sure Sharif's will be just as good.I also put a tranny cooler on and would recommend it if your going to drive the car hard..
Sharif,
We need you to get your tranny guy to upgrade the clutch packs as we will all be needing them soon (3rd gear) for me

You will recall that several shops had bad experiences, when L10 supposedly installed "upgraded" clutch packs, that were actually stock.
I'll keep searching.
