Seven Stock is Cali.......
Thanks for the input. I'llcontinue to do my research. Im actually in the middle of replacing the engine now. I can't attend sevenstock. I'm on the other side of the country in fla

Nope, never. No one. Nada. (At least I've never read about anyone doing it.)

Because the 4AT is a absolute most horrible version of an unpopular car.

The previous poster is mistaken, yes there have been a few but the AT was/is a lower power car that does not seem to work well with changes in gearing. If you add a SC or turbo it will make an acceptable difference......Seek information in this forum for changes that were made and tried.

A GReddy turbo will net you between 50 and 75whp

Phil got a bit more out of his SC setup.

The single best mod you can make to a 4AT is to replace the motor and transmission with a 6MT along with adding a clutch and 6MT ECU.
