I dyno'd with 1 of the guys from Merchant (customer i think) he had a bad *** truck to say the least!!!!!

dyno'd hi 5's with drugs and a built ali. I loved the way his truck sounded when it shifted and it shifted nice and firm.

they're definately in the run, it's worth the drive to talk with them!

How much is the stock Allison good for? What are the common modifications?

Stock Alison as a standard will not live long over 100 extra hp, there are some running more than that. The most necessary mod to the Alison is the torque converter and a shift kit that will last for a good while under 500 rwhp, go over 500 rwhp and clutches should be upgraded as well.

Brayden, Mike, and Eric all share info one of them would be the best I would think, but contact SC and they can give you a list of guys they have worked with.
