You guys obviously have not searched for an answer. There are tuboed a/t 8s, super charged a/t 8s all over out there with great results. Obviouly you would like someone to just hand you a solution to your lack of searching.

torque converter with a turbo sounds like a manual killer everyday.small stuff like the manuals drive shaft will help with overall power as well.

I'd say no, mine went to Sema, has been in commercials, has been filmed by international film crews, would have been in several magazines but suspension issues ruined that for me. I've always believed the person makes the car, not the other way around. There's plenty of booosted ones running around as well with respectable numbers, I will say it's probably a bit harder to pull power out of them due to limitations of the tranny, but a cobb and some beefed up internals should help that.

I wouldn't say suspension issues ruined it, more like money issues. anything can be done to a car with enough money.
