I have one, actually it was one of the first mods i did, and I was really surprised how much that extra 400 RPM helps out. You'll especially appreciate it later when you do more mods.

Ok. Im still on the stock Torque Flight tranny, so every little thing i do kinda worries me. Although I've heard that those old Torque Flights can handle quite a bit.

Yeah i was surprised how long mine held together it lasted me about a year with the mods i have now. Then one day i launched it at a street light, racing a Powerstroke, and the first time i smoked him, but after i hit third gear it felt a lil' loose. So he wanted to race again and when i launched it the second time it puked it's guts out. There was parts all over the road. haha. But i have a built auto now so i don't think i have to worry about the tranny......for at least a while anyways .
