:Secondly, has it (TD06-20G upgrade) been done to an automatic or manual. And lastly, is it worth upgrading to something that big, in spite of running a higher torque converter stall speed and additional shot of fuel (additional injectors) to counter the lag? Is too much power, too much power?

First, the level10 tranny has not worked in a high hp z32 yet. Kyle probably knows more about that than anyone else.

You will need nitrous for all of your low end power. On just turbo you won't see much rwhp through the auto. On the same setup, people lose upto ~100rwhp switching to an auto tranny for drag racing. I don't see how additional fuel injectors would help with lag.

If you want to drive the car on the street with the auto, you have to change the way you think about rwhp. You do not need huge turbos to make the car fast. Choose a moderately sized turbo and add some nitrous. Travis ran 10.8@127mph with only 480rwhp. I heard that he also had problems with his level10 tranny. We have a Z32 in socal with 485rwhp through an auto tranny with only sport500 turbos. If you do the math, its a 10 second street car with no nitrous.

But if you have the $$, you can always try the td06 route and see how you like it. If it doesn't work...you can always change things.
