OK, I'm car illiterate when it comes to tuning up cars. I'm great with fixing or replacing anything, I guess you can call me a self-mechanic.
Anyways, I have a 05 V6 Automatic, and I want to tune it up with the best stuff.
I hear all this talk about superchargers, and zero talk if they can be put on an automatic. I wouldn't mind purchasing a supercharger but can you put one of them in a V6 4.0 automatic?
If you guys can hit me with some info about the best parts for tuning up a 05 V6 Automatic, I would appreciate it.

where are "the X men" when we need them! LOL
It was 65 here in Boston today. Where do you think I was? Cruisin' with the top down of course :D
It was also the first time my daughter has been in the car when I did a full "test" of the Truetrac torque transfer capabilities. I can probably charge her for admission next time LOL
Krazer is quite correct, you can accelerate pretty briskly with the X installed without going into boost at all. About 3/4 throttle seems to be the point where the demon under the hood wakes up and starts making it's presence known.

With my Vortech I can accelerate pretty good without getting in to the boost... Never paid attention to the % of pedal travel.. but I can take off from a light pretty briskly without hitting the boost... LOL!

i think the x's boost bypass valve is run off of the actual throttle position...not the gas pedal, but the throttle inside the ummm throttle body lol.

It's actually run off engine vacuum (or lack thereof)

Xman here (LOL), here's my 2 cents worth since I have both kits and have tried to see as many different scenarios as possible while driving around
bypass opens anytime there is vacuum in the engine, which for "average" city and moderate hwy cruising is almost all the time for me (no boost)
on my boost gauge I can accelerate lightly and stay under boost and out of vacuum depending on what I am doing, I have seen my tach at +/- 2500 rpms on the hwy and no boost on this acceleration, from a slower roll or dead stop, at 2500 rpms I am generally into boost, which can vary from as little as 1-2psi to as much as 5-6psi, I have never seen the full 9-10psi boost except at WOT pushing over 4 or 5k on rpms, you cant hit full boost with the hi-po at 2k rpms
if I run the hi-po kit on the street I generally leave the meth/water off unless I know I am gonna be hammerin the throttle, the small instant that I will hit any major boost on the street to me doesnt allow for a chance to get much of a spray from the kit, there isnt a whole lot of areas you can stay on the throttle while on the street before you are going way too fast
my car is an automatic also
