i had a tranny shop build up the tranny to support between 300 and 400 hp to tires...also the torque coverter is upgraded as well...they built it for me..but not sure how tight they built it they said it should transfer about 90 percent to tires... but thinking about getting a b&m torque converter or tci torque converter to replace it tho..

90% to the tires is good on a non lock trans .

B&m or TCI will most likely be a downgrade from what they gave you.

If you don't know whats in it now and you want a tigheter converter you minus well go with the big boys like Goerend. He does make an affordable converter or you could go with the lowest stalling and tightest $950 deal .

Transmission is always something you should do right the FIRST time.

Whats your tweaking on the pump consist of? I'm gonna say your making 280/650. If your tweaks are...well.. tweaked.
