[dyce590]

No. The only way to "tune" an automatic is by using a piggyback.

you can chip a automatic OBD1 ECU and run different maps

is it alot of work and will i even see a difference in performance?

your tunign the engine, not transmission.

chipping a auto ecu is like chipping a manual ecu.

You generaly can use just about any chipping kit. m/t vs. a/t. But, automatics can't take a whole lot of torque.

Honda/Acura auto trannies cant take much of anything. I mean gotta give to Honda, they can build a damn good engine....but they need to leave the auto transmissions to somone else.
