Just get an aftermarket output. They are not that bad, 7-800 bucks, and you can install it without dropping the tranny.

Yeah... I had just got my new turbo installed about a week prior, took it out for a test run... 4x4 launch at about 10 psi... truck didn't even jump hard. I had the tranny, it just did not have a billet output.

Another thing... I was running 35's at the time, MT's. Those put a lot of strain on the output as well.

As long as you are not retarded on it, and don't shock it, you'll be fine. I beat on my truck a little, burnouts and hard launches.

I know a few guys that are pushing a lot of power on a stock output. A lot of people say that keeping a stock output will save you intermediate.
