In all honesty... it dosent look like the 3k for a SC on an auto is worth it in the least... Only thing good about it is the warranty, but past that there are numerous people on these boards with issues on there SC's and some are on there 2nd and possibly 3rd SC's... I say wait it out and go with a turbo setup..it will net you way more whp for the money and possibly ways less issues.

if you want some extra power with warranty then yes the supercharger is the way to go. However, if you're not so big on warranty then the zpi stage 0 turbo is more powerful and a little cheaper (even if you do it right with a tranny cooler and engine management). Either way, just be sure to do regular maintenance and you will be happy. I'm personally going turbo with my '06 a/t because the thought of uninterrupted hp and tq just makes my day.

my friend Mike raced an RSX-S, which pulls around a 15.0 flat in the 1/4th mile, he also lost to it in his auto SC tC by 2 car lengths.

I would figure youre going to run between a 15.1-15.4

after you get the supercharger, take a look at www.forcefedracing.com. they have upgrades for the supercharger by tuning it with a unichip, and boosting the psi with smaller pulley's. if you do it, let me know how it works out, i'm still losing sleep over whether or not to turbo or super charge my 5 spd.

hopefully TRD will be releasing a SC kit to fit the 07's. There are rumors floating around that it will be out by Christmas. But knowing TRD, it will be released when the tC is discontinued.

driving stick is great, makes you stay involved in driving and keeps your mind from wandering, you can get pretty absent minded if all you do is pump two pedals.

Research before you buy the TRD S/C and listen to the people that have it. With that being said, I say NOOOOOO
