no just a 4 speed regular tranny...
so here is the problem first gear is not working normal (auto) when she puts it to drive and gas it (slow or fast) it lags it revs somewhat high and the car feel like its not moving like the crank is just spinning until it finally hits and it jerks hard. the tranny has been flushed and engine looks clean everything has been replaced (she just bought it about a week or 2 ago) 140,000 miles or so...

so question for everyone i want your opinion... my car is my only daily driver so i dont want to push it too hard especialy since its a stock motor but of course i want to go fast. i dont plan on building a motor so i wanted your guys opinion on what would be better to go with
turbo kit
tvs
or twin charge
now dont jump to say twin charge because i know thats where the most power is at duh ... but i found out that the twin charge kit is very hard on the motor and if pushed a little bit too much with a stock motor ... kaaboom I have also heard from a respected tuner that pushing the tvs with e85 can still get me around 350 whp and be way more safe on a stock motor than a very mild tune twin charged. and then there is the turbo option... what do you guys think ? remember reliability and power is what im looking for not just power. all input appreciated thanks guys

If you're concerned w/ the daily driver aspect.. I would stay where you are or de-mod in terms of "being safe"..
The more and more you mod the more unreliable the car will get (usually).. However, that doesn't mean the car can't last w/ tons of mods if done right.
If you want fast as **** and are willing to pay to play go twin. It's in its own league-- Simply the most beastly and most unique.
