How much tranny do I need?

Hey guys. I have tried and tried to get a hold of Goerend but can't seem to. How much tranny do you think I will need. My only other mods with be turbo, CP3, and (smallish) injectors. Maybe 90's. Will TC/Valvebody/Flexplate/ and input shaft be enough to hold between 400 to 600hp? Thanks

Call Dave early in the morning. Between 8AM and 9AM. I would do a billet output shaft for good measure.

Just tell Dave what you want to do with your truck and how you use it and he will tell you what you need and point you in the right direction

It really depends on what you plan on doing with the truck. If you're going to be pulling or boosted launches above 15psi I would go ahead and think about an output. it is the easiest to change so you might want to wait until it breaks.

Don't do boost, and don't drag, don't pull. I may as well just build it up full billet. I mean, if I am going to add the output, what is another $1000, right.
