I really doubt that you informing people of the type of s/c setup you're using would sway anyones point of view on the car. I'm just curious and thinking you're going the centrig route.

With a tranny cooler it can handle 450whp and 500whp for short bursts.
Thats the power level I am aiming at. If it blows I may go manaul...but to be honest I rather have a auto on that car. Easier and more consistent launches. I dont plan on driving the car on curvy roads so I hope the auto will last. I will use it more for straightline and just cruising.

Ahhh so you plan to straightline this car, you gonna add a converter to the list of mods? Oh and you're right a tranny cooler is def a must.

Blah blah blah... I still got teh 1J 5spd trans at my house. But, if you blow that trans put a Supra TT in it (it'll bolt up), if you wanna keep auto. They make everything for those things in the US.
