can the A/T handle 250 HP?
Did anybody try tuning the A/T RX8 up to 250 HP? Basically to make up for the horses lost when detuning the engine to less RPM and protect the tranny. I plan to get one this summer and I like the paddle shifters on the A/T. Any recommendations as of the ECU/mods to do it are welcome. Voiding the warranty if the ECU is changed/flashed can be avoided?

I don't know about it's HP rating, by the AT is not rated to go over 7500 RPM, that it why there is such a large HP drop in comparison to the MT which is able to handle 9000+ RPM.
If you could find a way to get 250 HP with a max RPM of 7500 RPM, you might be in business.
Anyways, AT run better with higher torque rather than higher horsepower.
