Why is a turbo better on an automatic tranny car than a manual???

The only advantage with an Auto is that you can remain at WOT and not have to lift to change gears causing any lag when the turbo spools down, But if you can shift like greased lighting a stick can be just as equal...

Most dyno graphs we see show a lot of torque. The wider trans ratios in the autos can use that torque more, where the 6-speed is more geared for a tight HP peak curve since there isnt any sustantial HP drop. I would tihnk it would do better for nitrous too.

And like someone once said... you cant make up time while shifting gears.
