Re: Auto Trans
I'm no engineer but I believe it's mainly less parasitic loss. It takes less mechanical force (manual) than hyrdraulic force (automatic) thus more HP is able to go through the drivetrain. You can release a few more on your auto by going to a lighter driveshaft.Originally posted by 3.8Furyfirst of all y do standards get more hp..???Let's flip a coin.
