Charles (and I) are showing our age by him cracking out a "Mr Mom" line and me getting it.

Let me try and drag this thread kicking and screaming back to the topic. I've got about 500 miles on my BHR coils now and I still love them. Car runs great, no issues at all. Thank you Charles, for making such a fantastic piece of kit.

I don't really know how many AT owners have the kit at present. Besides myself.
I may be a little bit biased, but I love it. So far with about 10,000 miles on it and not a single issue. Smoother idle and smoother power. But the main thing is I don't have to worry about a misfire anywhere in the RPM range. Even up to 9000. (This is an AT I'm referring too.)

Wait you got your 4AT to have a 9000 RPM redline without blowing anything? What parts would you need to do this, besides the accessport, to achieve this redline safely?

The automatic transmissions are actually tougher then the MT transmissions in some respects, you'd be surprised.

Really? I would have thought the torque converter couldn't handle the excess load based on what everyone has been saying. So 9000 RPM wouldn't be catastrophic for a DD and would have no problems?

Accessport and tuning.

I have seen nothing abnormal yet. I do need to change the fluid. It's about due.
In the old day''s I had an RX4 that was an AT. It would redline at over 10,000 rpm. Never had a single issue with that transmission.

Any additional cooling needed, like a tranny cooler?

Easy way is to just hook a plug up to the wire, power it, ground it and hit the trigger.
Look for fireworks.

I think video would capture the agonizing scream much better then a picture.
