Default How do you build up any Auto Trans. for upped power?

** "Swap to stick" doesn't solve the problem, so leave that cat in its bag. **

Anyways, I drive a 03 V6 Accord coupe, and I can't particularly claim that I am proud of the power it puts out.

I enjoy driving auto. I don't miss clutching at all. I'm not a racer, and my Accord will never be a track car. And, even though it may sound like it, I'm ~not~ an -------! :P

I glanced over LevelTen.com, didn't get much of a hardon.

Magnus Motorsports only mentions transmissions in the same sentence as clutch, so I don't even need to email them.

I remember a while ago, I stumbled on a thread about Turbo auto vs standard, and someone linked to a site, really exciting, and said something in his post along the lines of "so to me, auto > stick, forget about manual" but, after roughly two hours of searching, I've given up.

So any advice other than "swap it," "buy a new torque convertor," "add a cooler," or "shift kit?"

Or at least some in-depth explinations on mods for autos. I've got plans for my Accord, but I don't need an 11 second track car. But this isn't about the motor or increasing its output, its about the Automatic, which I have no knowledge on.

Thanks folks.

The car was and is destined for failure. Save your money for better things like a subscription of "Busty". Don't hate them for being big, thats just more to love.

Destined for failure? Approaching 80,000 miles, and the car runs as perfect as I can tell.

What's with the hate for anything non-Civic or Integra pre 1992?

Anyone can point me to the learn all of modding autos for power?
