That noise at WOT, from what you say, sounds like detonation (knock, pinging, pre-ignition, etc....)

johnathanh,

I don't know why, but I feel it has something to do with the front pump. Since you have Greg's attention (Factory_Tech) I would talk with him about it. If he can't answer your question -- noone can.

Hi Greg! I thought you were on vacation?

No No: stay away and I mean far away from Level10

I sent Level10 my perfectlly good stock transmision, to have them do a performance build up on it. It didn't make it back from their shop before it had problems. I then brought it back to them to get fixed, and it still didn't make it a a whole season. It was spewing fluid out of the vent, and sliping like a ****.

I now have a Factory Tech trans that is holding up awesome to 763rwtq.

So take my advice take your trans and send it to Greg for a buildup. I know it isn't cheep, but it will take all the power you can throw at it.

Edit
Oh by the way this is how my truck left level10 after the 2nd rebuild

and they didn't tightnen the bolts at the header conectors
which caused this
