Default Safe to Run Smarty w/ These Transmission Mods???

Ok so Im about to purchase a Goerend VB for my transmission in the next few days. The guy that I purchased the truck from, rebuilt the transmission right before I bought it which was about 10K ago. Back to stock of course but he did swap out the TQ for a sindle disc. So I've been running my Smarty on SW#3. Once I install the VB, do you think it would be safe to run the Smarty on a higher level? Not all the time, maybe just for short periods.


This is just for the time being to get my through until I can save up enough to get a complete Goerend setup. Im broke right now with all the money I've spent on my rig in the last few weeks.

Your use of the right foot is the ultimate determining factor as to what is "safe".
I have run Crazy Larry (best mpg's and most "fun" when needed) on my 05 (w/ 82,000 mi) for the last 23,000 mi or so w/ no worries. My primary pilot car got 161,000 mi running a Bully Dog on Performance (90 hp).
