NOS tomorrow.... any suggesstions?
Well, after a long while of research, and after I have been using NOS for over 2 years in my 200SX, I decided to go get NOS my CLP again until the supercharger comes out.....
I am gonna get the NX Express 50/75shot, still thinking... But this is wat I am concerning.... Before I used to have 5spd in my SER, and with 50shot, it ran 13.6 no problem, but the thing is, that car weight only 2400lbs, thats why the time is fast....
Now, the CLP is automatic, and it's about 3500lbs, almost 1000lbs heavier... so I wonder how much faster will it be? Will be break 14s? Cuz now, i have CAI, Pulleys, and those Denso plugs, and I ran a 14.8 on a cold night with 51degree with 10% humidity, and 15.3 on a 100degree with 100 humidity night.... So with 50 or 75 shot, wat time should i expect?
Secondly, the main concern is, how well the tranny will hold up? Will it be ****ed up or something? Cuz there seems to be many problems with our tranny, someone dun even race them much, and have problems with them..... But also, several guys in TL.com, they have 75shot, and now their cars are 70K+ miles on them, and still running strong... Wat yall think??? Thanks alot, cuz I want to hear the final decision before I go and get the NOS tomorrow! THanks alot!

From what I've heard about the supercharger, us automatics will be out of luck. It appears that Comptech is only going to design the SC for the 6 speed tranny. They blew up too many auto trannies to keep trying. I feel sorry for the Accord that's sitting in their shop.
As far as NOS, be careful. Our trannies are fragile as can be. Acura is pretty aware that we modify our cars and will do anything to deny a warranty claim. NOS is pretty easy to detect when they pull the head. It leaves telltale signs.
