I had JR's 55 in my 6 spd and it was AWESOME but i think in an auto it would be BAD b/c you would not loose as much boost shifting. No boost until about 2000-2200 RPM. Definately need a drag comp to keep those rpm's up when running. It will more than likely run really hot towing a trailer!! But when racing or pulling it should do awesome. I am getting another one on my pulling truck so i am a believer of them.
