Just from what i have read (thats why my truck still sits stock) is these trannys HARDLY hold stock power, but on the other hand my step dad has one that has alot more then stock power and he has not done a thing to his tranny. i guess its all about how you drive it. Im sure you wont blow the tranny there will be signs like TC slip. i dont plan on adding power untill i get my tranny built.

on the Boost elbow is there a way to tone it down to keep a safe psi, boost? or is it all or nothing? I wish I could afford the VB,TC or a hole new high perfom tranny. just want to be on the safe side of things.

get the elbow with an allen screw in it and yes you can adjust it.

Adjustable ones are questionable. I have a banks big head wastegate actuator and an adjustable elbow, I think it's 1/4 or less from being seated and I don't get above 40 psi sustained, I'll peak 45. Just saying idk if the adjustable ones are worth the hype. I don't believe they cost any more than say a BD boost elbow.

For the TC i have a parts store that offers a single disc up to 425hp for 373 comparable to suncoast(never had a complant), a torque flite shift kit get will work fine if your not drive like jeff gorden.

turbo2332- we had talked before on one of my posts, I had made the 100 plate and im not trying to soot but my truck wont. i have the house and plate fully forward(from what i can see) and my waste gate is inop with the house plugged at the pump. will that cause fueling problems from the diaphram in the pump?? And lastly whats the "washer flip" never heard of it??
