I have a '99 V6 automatic and I would give a qualified ABSOLUTELY! I have to qualify it because I didn't have my car dyno'd before and after so I can't give you numbers. They gave the numbers though, available on their web site. I could feel the difference after the install. Aside from the S/C, it is the only mod that I've done that I could really feel the HP gain. The fit and finish/materials are top quality and they sound great. AND, it passed the state emmisions test, that alone is a huge testament. I just ordered the JPP exhaust, a 6psi pulley and an Apexi S-AFCii. I will put the exhaust on first then have a before dyno run, add the 6psi pulley and S-AFCii then have an after dyno run. It is still an automatic so I'm not expecting HUGE numbers but I'll post them when I get them, hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks. -JoeB

Was that you Scua? You didn't login so you were a guest. Start a new thread when you post so it's on topic but definitely share the info. I haven't seen much info here about auto tranny upgrades. I am very interested too. Our tranny is especially soft. -JoeB

auto trannies by toyota are known for soft shifting. matter of fact, you should not be able to feel the car shift if you drive normally.

level 10 has a torque convertor for sale. its like $500 or something around there.

I will be installing the Jp Performance headers and exhaust system today. I'll let everyone know what happens. I'm running 4lbs. boost.
