Default Completeley confused

Im confused on what the best thing for me to do is. I finish paying off my new wheels(gramlights) this month, so ill have money to start a new project and thats gonna be boost. I got an auto. I cant decide if i want to buy a header, sc pulley, and the trd s/c or buy the stage 0 from ZPI and get the i/c upgrade. Im not sure what my best bet would be? I'd like to hit like a 13.9 but I doubt I can do that in a auto, but I could be wrong. Anyone else been in this position. I've searched and im just not sure what to do. Sciondad turbo auto is one way to look at it and then the s/c with warranty but less power and hope for teh i/c to come out for it.

Even if TRD comes out with a I/C for the SC its not going to bring you down to 13.9 without other mods. Especially in an Auto because of the gearing

well, it could be possible with some transmission upgrades like a higher stall speed torque converter and lsd. Autos with the right setup car run like the wind at a track since they never fall out of boost

its definetely possible.

Once ESK and Sciondad figure out the auto transmission upgrade, the tranny is going to be shifting faster than ever.


SAFELY

Maybe with the ESK, supercharger, Full Exhaust, 9lb. pulley, Header, tires, and some kind of intake, you'll be able to run a 13.9

NOT AS SAFE

Get the ESK tranny upgrade, and try ZPI's stage 1 Turbokit.
Along with some sticky tires.

Remember, a stock SRT4 runs a 13.9, and that car that 240WHP and an LSD, so it has much better traction.

You'll need almost 300WHP to pull off a 13.9

good luck!
