BTS Transmission
I broke down (literally) and decided that since this was tranny #3, I would step up and get a BTS.. I got the call today from Brian and he was building it!
Just curious how those who have one like them and what kind of things I will notice? Will I get more power to the ground or will the shifts bark the tires?

This was my reaction after my first drive after my BTS was installed...
Then here's my second reaction...
And this is how it is every time I'm behind the wheel...
Yup, pretty much sums it up.
Depends on your other mods - tuner etc, - how hard it will lock up. Plus, you can have Brian custom the VB to your liking.

I still think my TC is a little too high of a stall speed, but that's what Brian thought was best for my truck when it had stock injectors... When you get a BTS it basically means you never have to worry about your transmission ever again!

The shifts are only as hard as you want them to be. A lot of that is controlled by the size of the holes in the valve body, which you can enlarge yourself if you want firmer shifts. IIRC, tuning also can affect how firmly the shifts are.
My BTS trans is absoutley fantastic, and I know first hand that the warranty is the best you can get should anything ever go wrong. You couldn't pay me to give up my BTS and I've got full confidence in it.

I race with my truck, couldn't beleive how it shifted. The day before I towed a 4000lb. boat home, couldn't believe how it shifted. That was one week after install. Approx. 75 miles on the truck before racing and towing. Would give up my wife before my BTS trans and truck.
A BTS is $4100.00, but speak with them directly. 870-422-FORD(3673)
