Default Automatic V6 options for boost?

I recently picked up a 15 accord v6 auto, and would love to go forced induction to about 350whp.

I don't want to swap to manual. The car will be city traffic driven most of the time and I'm not 20 anymore.

I've built and boosted tons of 4cyl Hondas, all manual... but this is my first V6.

I'm not worried about making the HP (air in, air out) however when it comes to v6 auto transmissions I'm completely inexperienced.

I've tried searching, but there's so much about the 6MT and so little about building the AT. Plus I'm just bad at search filters.

Long story short, are there any good resources out there to help me build a reliable auto?

Thanks

If you want 350 wheel HP, you are going to have to trade in your 2015 V6 Accord for a 2018+ Accord 2.0L turbo with the 10-speed auto... and build that.

The problems that you will face for your current car are NOT making the power... engine management choices are limited (K-Tuner can handle the engine tuning but has no control over the transmission) and there are not upgraded parts for the transmission to handle the additional power.

Thanks for your reply. I understand where you're coming from and you aren't totally wrong, but that's not really what I asked. Every time I search for answers to this question, the threads I find have this similar answer. Basically, instead of actual useful information, someone just says it's impossible or not worth trying. The thread dies right there and nothing is learned. Heck, there's faster cars for less money than a '18 Accord like the V6 AWD Twin turbo Taurus SHO, or Chrysler 300, mustang, camaro, charger/challenger, etc ... but that's not what I'm interested in.

I just found a site that claims they build 500whp capable transmissions, transmission parts, and transmission tunes.
https://www.levelten.com/Honda_Supercharger_s/28.htm

I'm not certain about their reputation and haven't called them yet, but it's at least one lead. I'm sure there must be more out there. I just have to keep sifting through 10+ years of dead threads.

Because parts and knowledge don't exist.....

Add power, see what fails. Report back.

Spend infinity dollars for clutch plates and time figuring out transmission control on a standalone. Find out the stator in converter explodes at 350ft/lbs.

Just feels like it's going to be endless chasing of broken parts.

I too had the tought of forced induction on a ZDX, 6 speed automatic sh-awd. Promptly changed my mind finding no support for the transmission and eye watering prices for second hand transmissions when I do find that limit.

Level10 has been in the shadows for nearly two decades... the funny thing is, nobody ever talks about their successes with their products. So, either they produce "snake oil" or they are the best kept secret for nearly twenty years. Let us know how it goes.
