Default F23a1 Automatic on spray

i was talking to one of my friends and he brought up the suggestion on putting some spray in my car. i dont know much about it thats why im here lol. but i wanted to know a little more about it for my car and would i need any major mods to the internals of the engine to get this to work. I have a 2001 Accord F23A1 Automatic 2.3 4cyl coupe. I just now Hit 100,000 miles. if that helps.
thanks for any help in advance.

If you ran a 30-50hp shot through it AND had some sort of tuning to accompany it, you shouldn't have any concerns with the engine...I would cringe while pushing the button if i ran a 50hp dry shot on a stock automatic. The same goes for turbo cars...if you want the engine to last, get a proper tune. In this case, something like a VAFC or a cheapo tuning system would work. The transmission wouldnt be my priamary concern, but keep it in mind as well. If you have the money to invest, a small, external transmission cooler wouldnt be a terrible idea.

Do you also have 15'' subwoofers and neons installed on this vehicle? Don't forget to add the 20'' rims.

dude DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
all these ppl who have been posting probably dont have an auto accord
i dont know what type of engineering went into building the auto f23 tranny but that thing is a p.o.s.
its the weakest part of the accord and will most def fail. luckily yours has not failed but trust me it will. I say wait 20,000 miles by then it would probably be messing up, do a 5spd swap then you could do whatever u want to it.
if you dont believe me post the same question on this forum:
www.6thgenaccord.com
you should join, you will find all sorts of things to do to your car

not sure what the tranny code is for the accord but im running a supercharged b18b1 on a SP7A automatic integra with no issues what so ever.
