TorqShift Trans and Power Upgrades

What is the general consensus on what the Torqshift 5spd Auto can handle from a power standpoint before needing some mods?

It'd pretty beefy and doesn't need much until you are hitting some serious HP.

I wouldn't worry about it til you start messing with injectors and a bigger turbo(if you're talking about a diesel). I'm pushing 508 at the rear wheels and the torqshift still lasted a year before I needed a rebuild.

I try not to think about it too much and just try to enjoy the truck and get my money out of it that way. That's about the only way I'll be able to.

What did you have to do to yours to hold the power? I'll break 500hp easy, probably be more in the 650 range. No it won't be a PSD either.

Thanks Furian! Good thread in that link

What is the rebuild MFG of choice for the 5R100W? I know for the older trans guys like BTS, is that the case on these newer trans too?

I use the Suncoast kit. I like it alot, it seemed to be a very good kit. Just don't forget to get the Billet Input Shaft as well.
