nah hes in nz man, well seeing as you got auto id take it in to get new fluid and filter change then get a shift kit installed, pretty much the best mod ive done i reakon, chirps in 2nd nicely and goes much harder then a standard slush box, delco can also tune to change a bit harder too

how much am i looking at for a shift kit? really worth it in a auto?

Another option would be to consider and electronic shift kit like the one below

4L60e Single Stage Shift Kit - $70.00 : Shiftkits Australia, Performance Shift Kits and Vehicle Electronics

I'm a fan of these because they can be switched on or off. For arguments sake it's probably not a good idea for the box to be shifting hard all of the time in the wet though it might seem fun

hey you mentioned that its an auto, I’ve been down the bolt on route, i got the manifold spacers, throttle body, 2.5 Redback exhaust, 1.98 rollers k&n air filter with CAI. i got it dynoed, I’m a bit foggy it was either 123.5 or 133.5 RWKW, either number is not bad for a 10 year old eco with no tune. Anyway all I can recommend is FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON"T GET THE THROTTLE BODY UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO TUNE IT. it messes with shift points and gave me the shits to no end. As for the rest of it if you’re after a bit of extra power in you six and don't mind spending some money go nuts . I enjoyed adding a new bit to the car every few months and generally being a tool as a p plater, plus I learnt a lot about the machine I was driving, a novel experience for someone like me having never been a car person until then.

Definitely a good figure with by the sounds of things more room for improvement

As for the throttle body there is a good thread on them on the link below based on other peoples feedback/solutions.
