Also, what about your auto trans? Has it been upgraded? You're going to be increasing your HP to 350 or more with a transmission designed for 225 or so HP. If it's stock it won't hold on for long.

Ahhhh it's all about temp and abuse...mine lives!!!

I make more power than that and so far my stock trans is just peachey...how long lol who knows. I'm easy on my junk and my trans runs cool.
Get the power stuff and trans cool then worry about it later lol

I have go pro I can send you to mount under the driver side floor board aiming at the trans for the first time you go hitch up to a decent load and pull a grade

I challenge you

Drag my camper to eastern tn last year and bought the new one east of Indy and drug it home...with 3full water/waste tanks...I found out later.

I tow and drive on a completely gutless tune and tow on it as well lol
I know if I let it do it's thing it would blow up the first time. I am selective on the abuse...and yea it's a matter of time lol

But it has shifted flawlessly for the last 3 months!!!!!!
