My Monster-Box just arrived.

 

any chance they gave you 2 instead of 1? i'm looking into getting one myself. let me know what ya think after ya put it in. I've heard nothing but good things about them...

 

What?! How long has this been in the works?

 

Silver,

You gonna break it in on the dyno Saturday?

NakMan

 

It won't be in for Saturday. I wish but no time to do it right now. Factory-Tech has been taking his time with this one. It was an unusual challenge. The core I sent him came out of a Lightning that was submerged under water.

 

The "submarine" transmission.

 

Hah, so whats the cost on one of these babys and what can they handle?

 

It will handle more power than the Lightning community has seen so far. Contact Dr. Gregg Evans (aka Factory-Tech) for price and delivery information.

I have a few years experience in the automatic transmission parts industry. What Gregg is doing to these M/B's is unequaled by anyone. It's a complete engineered package front the front pump to the output shaft. This will be an investment into the future of my Lightning. Next up will be the rearend. After the drivetrain is up to snuff it will be time to build a beast of a motor. By the time the motor is in all systems will be in place to deal with the huge power. Brakes, trans, rearend, etc. I'll be ready.

 

Somebody asked over on the Harley site what Gregg did to the transmission, and this was his response.

Well, the monster box is a bigger badder tranny, I upgrade every clutch in the box, retune the shifts, and make it about indestructable. Her's a list of what i do...
