First things first valve bodys and a good torque converter. Probly around 2 grand right there give or take, should hold you over before the twins better off getting a nice single turbo, or you will have to spend pretty close to 4 grand for a good enough trans to handle all that power. But I could be wrong im not that expierenced with the twins power

Well the thing that sucks about a auto trans is its weak stock and needs a lot to make it strong enough to drag or pull with but theres also a good side to an auto, the shifting and boost of the turbo is always going to be constant and you dont have to worry about burning clutches (besides dual clutches ), its kind of a pros and cons thing, I love my auto but I wish I got a manual only cause there cheaper to upgrade but in my opinion auto trans fully upgraded is the best for pulling and drag racing but hey some people might disagree
