Question Lancer OZ - Auto

OK, I was hoping to get some opinions as to the Auto Lancer OZ, specifically which direction to go for adding Mods. (And yes I know I should have gotten 5-speed but for the price I paid for my OZ I actually have money available to do mods)
Anyway I wondering what some of you with Autos may have done so far and with what results. I of course want to add intake, I notice injen has one so far, but before I buy I want to see what's working for some others first?
Let me know or at least point me to the right thread to start.

Thanks

auto's can only use short ram intakes, the horse power difference is little in the loss with auto.

you can do whatever a manual does (cept cai)

Just so you know the manual tranny (on any make/model) is cheaper than Auto.

I have an automatic lancer. I'm trying to turbo it, but I'm still waiting for the kit to come out from RRM. So far I've changed the bulbs to 100 watt blue ones... i'm going to get the progess tech. springs which give the lancer a 2.0 inch drop. People think i'm stupid because i got an automatic, but people don't realize.. in an automatic, the turbo spools up much faster.

Talking is this true...



So you telling me that if you put in a turbo in this vehicle we call a lancer, that the actual turbine of the turbo will spin faster?.. and start up quicker than in a Manual tranny lancer?

If this is correct, we have a good chance out there to beat some vehicles. Just two days, ago i was racing a denali truck... Those trucks are kind of quick and my lancer actually got ahead of him in the long run.. and my **** has only a CAI... so i don't know. Not even that i have my system in the trunk and i had 4 people in my car... ?.. it's mad funny

yes.. automatics spool up the turbo's much quicker than manuals... basically eliminating turbo lag. i crushed a stock civic ex with my stock lancer off the line

Question OZ Auto - Mods

Those of you driving autos, what intake and exhaust did you get, which do you recommend? I've been looking at injen intake but I want to get some opinions on brands before I buy.
