As I have said before, the auto trans soaks up so much power, nothing short of a turbocharger or supercharger will make a meaningful difference in performance.

At the same time, however, the automatic transmissions are quite fragile. When you start adding another 50 hp or more, a lot more heat is generated internal to the transmission and it's that heat that leads to internal failures.

So if you want a fast automatic Integra, budget an additional $1000 to have a transmission shop (like Area 51, if they're still in biz) to completely overhaul and upgrade the transmission internals.
