DTT has some in the mid 800's.
it is what you do to the rest of the trans that make a lot of difference.

Mine put down 720 and it worked great but since then I went from 90hp injectors to 200hp and upgraded from the S474 bottom turbo to an S480 and I think it's slipping a little now. Gonna talk to my tranny builder next week.

stock tc

mine didn't hold very long after I put all my goodies on it. But I went pretty nuts with racing everything and everyone who wanted to. But have had it redone by a dodge tech where I used to work and have been pretty nice to it so far except for yesterday when I took the neighbor for a ride and scared the bjeepers out of him.

DTT single converter has held at 900+ HP. They are bullet proof, IMO. if used as one component in a full DTT tranny.
Mine has been as high as 638 HP (on the dyno). Now at around 560 hp and never a hiccup for 140,000 miles.

My 06 has held up to 875hp no problems. That was 2.5 years ago at fall brawl 07. The truck is back down around 600hp now but have never had a tranny or converter issue in over 3 years. Tim

Full DTT.... just converter?
Best to call DTT direct and go through the Truck Profile. Can also get a list of options and installers near you!
