Driving a car like this with an auto tranny takes about 50% of the fun factor away for me. Manual all the way.

IIRC, Procharger does. but its not the s/c itself that is any different, just the tuning of it.

check out some of the Pontiac G8 boards, there are a few guys running a s/c AFM G8 with no problems.

well, thats one of the best things about the LS series motors is that they all have head interchangeability (like that word I just made?). so basically, if you have a s/c that will work on an LS3, it will work on the L99. you will just need to ensure that the wastegate and BOV are set up properly when AFM is activated.

I really need to spend some time on the HP Tunner site and see if any one has done a write up on this.
