as opposed to upper swaybars?

but anyways, fw190bvi is right... whatever you do, that auto tranny is not going to be able to take a whole lot more power w/o some serious modifications...

across the nation, there's only a handful of guys running turbos on their V6. many others have the comptech SC, but i don't know how well their trannies have held up over time. and nitrous... well, i'm not a fan of it...

Yeah wtf twin turbo on a damn accord v6??? I gotta see some pics or timeslips for a setup like that - is it even possible?? One more thing - if your gonna keep it simple with just bolt ons, I wouldn't wanna **** with the computer or A/F ratio etc. Now thats needed with the "twin turbo" setup tho

Anyway, sadly to say the AT in your accord isn't the strongest thing - so it's really not gonna hold much power over stock. One rough run with added power might kill it. I would say a nitrous setup of some sort but the tranny is limiting you. I wonder if you could find somebody to build it up/strengthen it for you? Sorry I'm not really familar with what is needed to strengthen an auto tranny but anything is possible with enough $$$ (I assume). Good luck with it tho man! BTW those old school VW buses are pimp
