Who knows ??
Rafael, explain why you are going with a 4-link. If you run it in 4wd, you'll get plenty of traction without the expensive mods. Don't take this wrong, I'm just asking out of my own ignorance. I would think your new tranny would handle the 4wd launches fine. I'm going the exact same route that you did with the tranny. Mine should be here next week with the PI converter. What are you going to do with your converter that came off the MonsterBox? Any market out there for this converter? Of course, I can understand your reasoning on the weight reduction, that makes sense.

Rafa, how is your transfer case supposed to be holding up on 4wd launches? Is it factory? I've already went through one transfer case and I wasn't impressed. You're running 4.56's so I'm sure there is far less strain placed on the tcase, but 600+rwhp is pushing it imo. I could be wrong only time will tell.

Mc Dover, Josiah said everything :

The concern is launch hard on 4WD and break something else.

i goofed.

edit:
with 650 rwhp and a track weight of 6900lbs = 12.80 @ 106
with 650rwhp and a track weight of 6000lbs = 12.22 @ 111
with a track weight of 5599lbs and 650 = 11.94 @ 114

if you get the weight to 5000 lbs. and the hp reaches 700 rwhp in race gas tune = 11.22 @ 121


with 700 rwhp and race gas with 6900 lbs = 12.49 @ 109

the problem with guessing, is just how much weight you can lose and exactly how much full race hp you will have. without those quantities it is impossible.

Good job Assasinator, and in my opinion running 12's after putting that much work into'r is somewhat a dissappointment, no offense Rafa. I was just hoping for 11's.

Takes a lot of HP to make up for the weight. I wouldn't be too disappointed. Should be one of the fastest 4-door trucks on the streets.

Rafa,

Tell us about the driveability with the new hp with the MB tranny and the PI converter. How is it different from the stock tranny and converter.

If you have been following along,,he has a 2 pulley set up,,blower has it's own pulley.
A mid 12 or high 11 would be a very respectful time for that truck,,with a different wheel and tire combo.

I'm running 500 RWHP and a 100 shot of nitrous with a 6000 pound truck and I'm running 12.1s and about to hit high 11s.
He should have no problem hitting mid 11s!!!!!

Nice job rafa,,,truck came out great!!!!!!

Phil

JDM will be available to install the new PI TC on april 18th.
I am still taking it easy to finish the engine break in (1500 miles), right now it has 650 miles.

One thing that i can say is that the Monster Box tranny it's not too different from the stock tranny with the Factory Tech Valve Body Plate kit, shifts very firm !
