trans upgrades?
 

hey i have a 96 powerstroke with a tw tunes. im getting stage 1 injectors and water methanal injection. i also have a banks shift kit but i dont think thats even close enough to being able to support the power so im wondering what type of trans upgrades im going to have to make to support the power of the injectors, chip and water methanal injection???

my truck is auto

Im not a auto guy but most builds for auto's are Torque convertor, valve body, clutches. Some auto guys will chime in good luck on the build autos sure are faster than the hand shakers

thanks man. im hoping to get it up around 350-400 horsepower. im only a JR in highschool and thats about enough to outrun any truck in are school and most the cars and deffintly out pull any other truck.

i can get a good 350 to the rear wheels with just the injectors and i might just do that if the shift kit will support that much power and forget about the water methanal injection.

so let me know what u guys think and that would be great. thanks alot

Do you guys think my banks shift kit is enough to support stage one injectors and my TW chip??:humm:

It all depends on how you drive, if your gonna be hammering on it all the time, then no it will not support it.

Now with all the mods in my sig I still have the stock transmission but I dont beat on it non stop

For upgrades I would do a torque converter and valve body, me personally Im going with a full built trans from BTS this summer.

And with just those injectors you probably wont hit 350, I made 300 with just stage 1s and my old TW chip on the street tune, I would suggest an intercooler if your gonna run on higher tunes a lot

alright thanks man. i love your truck by the way i have all the same stuff done to mine except the stage 1 injectors which i am planing on ordering from rosewood diesel by friday if not deffintly by the end of next week so im hoping she will roll some coal just like yours. man i love your truck!!!:U:

Thanks man I appreciate it!

No problem, but sience i got a new tranny coming i think im gunna go all out on my truck now. im getting stage 1 injectors getting my TW chip reburned getting water methanal injection and upgrading my turbo. ha cant wait to get her done and put her on a dino to see what kinda power its putting out!

With all that installed Id say somewhere around 380hp or so, if I were you and you wanted to break the 400 I would go with a modded H2E turbo, stage 2 or larger injectors, 17* HPOP and other mods you listed. then you would have a good runnin truck, but that will get pricey compared to if you did just stage 1 or 2 injectors and a D66, that may get you to 400 with the 2s but Im not sure and stage 2s would be the limit with a D66 really

yeah im not sure yet, if every thing was done right and tuned the right way i could be very close to 400hp but its gunna be cutting it close for sure but we will see. pluse im not sure i may go with a differnt chip and tunes because the website i bought it from is giving me a real hard time about reburning it thier trying to tell me i never bought it from them so i might go with a dp tuner or something differnt im not sure yet.

do you have a customed tuned chip from swamps??
