Now if you haven't noticed Roland really knows what he is talking about with these 4R100. And he has taught me alot along the way. Thanks Roland !
Now as far as t.c goes PI has really proven itself over the years and many builds use them for a reason. They trust them! Now does that mean that the RevMax is not as good...we just don't know. But I checked out their website and they use very good equipment and tools and are good at what they do. So I am sure they can build you a nice one but is it going to come apart and when? Because a t.c. coming apart will destroy a tranny. Right Roland?
Now as far as the trans build itself I feel the most important upgrade is the center support modds. So ask your builder what he is doing to the center support.
Now as far as t.c. goes you might find this a good read. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-problems.html

Hmm, thats a lot of info about TC's haha. What kind of central supporting mods are you talking about specifically? And, i was thinking about what Roland said, and does the 4 disk coast clutch drum help with power at all or is it simply for deceleration purposes. I never tow heavy, or drive in the mountains for that matter. Im just trying to get a sense of what is the best bang for my buck for what Im using my truck for.

Well here, Ill just pose my base question. I am getting a free rebuild under warranty from my builder. He will completely rebuild it replacing all the broken or worn parts with new stock ones for free. I want to upgrade some of these parts however and have about $1500 to do so (this includes the TC). So I want to find the best combination of parts and a TC for my application that will be under that $1500. I use my truck for a daily driver, and I want it to last. But i also want to take it to the track a couple times to see what she can do. I want a transmission that will hold up to 400-500 hp for many miles.

Going for it
I'm having a RevMax ( I assume this one 4R100 Stage 4 Torque Converter) put in as we speak. I havent heard any bad things. Going with a custom valve body as well. I said I'd like 2nd gear to lock up and He said something would be deleted and converted from a pulse type to an on/off type lockup ?? I trust his many years experience. We shall see...... I will report back when I get some results.
