Talking looking for all the advice i can get

my name is freddy

i own a 2005 lly duramax
4 door white
rollin over 100,000 miles soon\

my transmission is currently goin down the drain...need an upgrade..thinkin about a suncoast IV with a 1058 or ATS 5star converter...any suggestions?
Current mods are
edge juice with attitude monitor mounted in overhead console
mbrp 5" turbo back exhaust with the mbrp muffler..may take it off one day..but for now it sounds great.
bd big bore exhaust manifold
fluid damper
aem brute force HD
bd powermaxx lift pump
ppe race fuel valve
afe intercooler tube upgrade
and i just ordered a dragonfire cp3
probably gona get some bigger injectors after the tranny upgrade..industrial injection 90hp
then go with efi live tuning and maybe a snow water meth injection

i am an avid reader of several diesel mags and read anything duramax related and some things not.(just to see what other brands can do)

i am very pleased with my truck so far and one day hope to break the 700 hp mark on fuel only.

Stay away from the ATS 5 star. It's way too tight a converter. Sucks the engine down as soon as it locks up. But on the bright side, you'll never get it to slip, even with 560 HP.

BTW, if you want to know more about EFI live, 2500HeavyDuty (Danny) can tell you more about it.
