Looks like you're on to a good start...depending on what kind of 19" rims you got. I think size doesn't matter as much as quality and style

You should stick a body kit somewhere in your list.

Wait, How much did you lower your car with those 19's? Also how much did you lower it, whats the offset and how wide are those 19's? I want to buy 19's and lower, but I dont want it to rub (I assume you havent had rubbing problems?)

hey keith or anyone else with a sc400 with a torque converter, how much of an improvement did you get and will this be a good idea with a turbo or supercharger kit?

ALSO, how many horses can our sc400's auto trannys corral?

Words cannot describe how the car is a whole new car w/ a TC.

Drive it slow, and there is absoutly no difference from stock - none ('cept the car will move a little slower w/ foot off the gas and off brake) Hammer it off the line, and its like you're launching on turbos. Absoutly THEEEEEEEEE best mod for the money I have ever spent on ANY car!!!

Great idea w/ turbo's or SC, just get the lower stall speed, or you will never have traction.

Stock tranny holds about up to 450 RWHP
