518 over getrag
ok so im trying to pick between a 518 and a getrag i plan on doing hp mods and i was wondering how well does the 518 hold up :humm:
|
torque converters need to be upgraded as well as valve body and a shift kit.
5 speed all the way, but thats just my opinion:tu: |
depends, you want to pull something or go fast?

I'd say Getrag too. Much less loss through the tranny.
|
well how much power will the 518 stock hold up to and why do u need a better converter what happens with the stock one under alot of power:humm::humm:
|
The factory convertors suck, plain and simple, I've heard as much as 40% power loos through a old factory one. The newer aftermarkrt ones have as little as 8% loss. Under alot of power nothing bad really happens, they wont transmit enough of it to really hurt themselves :D ... But your not getting that power to the wheels. They suck up ALOT!!!
|
Stock transmission good for around 225 whp.
|
I know alot of people that have put more then that through a stock tranny.
|
I have 296 hp through my stock 727 tranny in my 89.
