The HR block is different from the DE block and they are not interchangeable from what I have seen.
The auto trans can handle about 350 or so hp, some get around 400hp, but you need a tranny cooler and a valve body. The DE block can handle about 400 hp with stock components so you don't need to build it with a Stillen or Vortech supercharger.
I used to have a Vortech on my 04 coupe but it had a manual tranny. A friend had a Vortech on his 05 with an automatic and had to have the tranny mods done.
