4R100 question
just wondering how much horsepower and torque my 4R100 can handle..just with doing an occasional local truck pull..i was looking into casserly stage IIs, GTP38R, adrealine. itp reg return, dp tuner..roughly how much power to the wheels with this combo give me?? and would i require a tranny rebuild to hold this power??

A few folks have gotten away with upgrading the torque converter and valve body on the stock trans, and run Stage II's. It's cheaper than a fully built trans, but not quite as strong. Still, it's beefier than stock.

Personally, I think the little bit of extra cash up front is worth all the peace of mind. BTS and JW have a reputation for a reason.

i agree with Joe on this one...or even the JW VB...from what i read ppl have good results with them...I'm looking for the 6.0L cooler myself. kinda hard to find tho...on that note is there anywhere I could find one or buy a cooler new at a decent price?

this may be sumthen you might want to ask Mark or call suncoast...great bunch of guys over there. i was told the triple disk converter is useless if you dont build up the rest of the tranny. dont know for sure? Clay said the jwvb works great with the dp tuner, wonder how it works without the tuner?

I have a BTS. Currently, I am told that it is about $4100. BTS will warranty the trans for 2 yrs, no mileage limit or power levels. After that, you pay for the shipping to him and he will fix it for free.

Last time I was at BTS, Brian would answer your questions on his break time. He had no less than 5 stickies of people to get back to. I suggest holding for him.
