first step?
 
ok well ive read the guide to get that out of the question. but i have an auto. what do you guys think i should do first for a low boost setup. basicly saying 5 psi daily then 8 at track. till i can bump it up. some say i should get something done with my torque converter others say just a tranny cooler what do you guys think?

for 5psi I wouldnt do anything at all. What is your fuel management?

you can do alot with automatics.stall coverter online some what cheap,tranny cooler,and the cable thats attached to the t.b and the tranny can be adjusted to hold gears longer.believe it or not i can hold 3 gear to over a hundred.but when you adjust it ,it will down shift kinda hard.you have to keep adjusting it untill it feels right. ::)other things like shift kits. if you want to spend that high price amount of money. ;D

5psi isn't that big of a deal, if something does go like the converter, just buy a new one when/if it goes.

thats what i figured i would probably get a tranny cooler to help. since its not to terribly expensive. as for fuel management since its low boost im probably just gonna stay with an FMU. when/if i bump it up i get an afc and larger injectors. now the problem is how cheaply can i get all the parts. lol the only thing thats gonna be welded on is the return line fitting on the oil pan ill have a friend do. for all the charge piping im gonna just get some silicon hose to connect. then snag someones old downpipe from the same setup. first of all though i need moeny!!!! any donations are appreciated thank you. lol
