You can get away with a lot but theres the 4-5 or 5-6 shift that will limp it if your getting on it.. but there way stronger than the 5 speed.. Just slap a Trango Jr in an you'll be good for 450 an more RWHP..... for a while...

Transgo will help but the stock converter won't last forever either.

Do you know the HP on that tune? If its 100 RWHP Your on that line of a lift pump and a TransGo Jr. I was looking and I think that it said that HP .If ya start getting in that 450 RWHP range Its time for a few upgrades,, IMHO..
