is it worth it to switch over to a manual once i exceed the power limits of my auto or is there an upgrade to the auto the is worth doing cost effective wise. looking at about 450 to 500 rwhp once the new tune is in. then stepping up the boost and going for around 600
Your auto can handle plenty of power. Friend of mine has an 05 auto with a 302 K/B. He is pushing around 600 HP to the wheels. Car is a d/d and does 10.75 to 10.8 in the 1/4
The "5r55" designation is also a torque rating
550 lb. ft.
At this point you should be considering a new one, the TR-6060 or aftermarket built ones will handle more power.
