For you guys with superchargers... did you beef up your transmission? or does it slip at all with all of the extra power?

also do yall know if you can have a bulletproof transmission made for our trucks?

 

Darrin Burch over at BCautomotive.com can build you a good beefy trans around the 3K mark with converter.

 

Im still running the stock trans. I keep the fluid changed at 25K inervals, and so far the fluid has looked great, not been burnt or contaminated to indicate any abuse or possible problems.

 

Drill out the seperator plate.

 

Im Good

 

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but DANG Matt 05'FX4!

Just looked at the pics for your truck and it looks awsome. Have you done anything to your suspension other than the traction bars?

 

Thanks man! All I did was pull the 2" 4x4 blocks out of the rear to sit it level.

 

I haven't had any problems or slipping.

 

I'm getting a slip in 4th and overdrive. Jury is still out if it is a problem with the new gears or if the tranny is going. The truck has been parked for 2 months, so I still have yet to take it in to find out exactly what is going on.

 

4th and overdrive? are you holding out on a 5 speed tranny?


4th is overdrive......

 

Huitt, you need to get your azz to a track, would love to see what you run with 390rwhp and 450 ft/lbs of torque. What numbers were you pushing when you ran the mid 14 sec 1/4 mi time.

 

I have a separator plate so it flows a little more fluid and mine is doing well

 

LOL if it is the Factory tech separator plate you are hurting your tranny. I had one and measured the hole dia. with a slide dial gauge and some of the factory holes were larger than the FTSP.

 

34000 miles. No issues.

 

i have 392/448 and no problems so far. going back to get the blower ported to hit the 400hp club. i though that 4th and overdrive was the same gear. i must have missed the special edition with the speed
