supercharger and automatic
Would you recommend supercharging an automatic?
I heard it was extremely expensive to change back to manual from auto, any thoughts?

I don't see why you can't do it.Do a little more research on google then here.You will get better results using google then someone who doesn't even drive a automatic supercharged vehicle.

thank you 
I just wanted to make sure. Do you know the average price to convert the normal 2.2 to supercharged? I believe i have a master part list somewhere but i don't have the time to price it all currently

just depends where you get the parts from
if you can pull em off a junked car, next to nothing.
i know kits go for around 1500? something like that
im sc'ing my 2.2 soon just working on getting a few little things, and then gonna get ls2 edit and start it.
was gonna turbo it at first but i changed my mind

I was going to turbo mine as well, but i prefer superchargers. I'm not trying to race it or anything, i just want something to do when i'm not working/school, and want something fun to cruise around in
anyone know any supercharger kits?

IIRC the auto trans is rated to handle a little over 200 HP. If you put a turbo on your balt you'd run the risk of exceeding that 200 and blowing your trans; SCing it would probably be your best bet for maximizing its potential.
And yea, these balts are so light that 250+ HP makes them feel like a rocket on wheels. the 08/TCs make you glad the ass cushion is comfortable.

I have to admit, I thought I was going to see a flame war on here.

Trust me, 250 hp is NOT going to be too much for your transmission.
Get another torque converter and definitely get a transmission cooler.
A good transmission cooler is like $60, for real.
