How to upgrade an AT FRS transmission?
Been adding more and more power to the frs lately. Was just wondering what there is to do to an automatic transmission to make it able to withstand higher hp. I am very new to how transmissions work and what can be done/if anything can be done to give myself more security while thrashing my vehicle.

By your list, you're likely more than fine. Unless, you're looking to do a tranny swap to MT or go FI? |

I'd bet that unless you have a built engine running a bunch of boost, the stock AT will be just fine.

I think Stage 1 FI is alright. It's Stage 2 that gets scary. Then you start moving to new transmission, new rear end, injectors.... the list goes on. I'd be happy with 300 whp and call it a day. This car will still haul ass because of its weight.
My goal someday is a stage 1 turbo, 300-330 whp, around 10 PSI on 93 oct, possibly flex fuel. Anything past that seems a lot riskier and deeper wallet demanding. |
