2000, 26k, chipped and Level-10 for 22k. No breakage. Having a Monster-Box built to handle future H/P upgrade.
The best insurance for an automatic tranny is keep it cool and change the fluid often. I change mine about every 3rd oil change. Overkill yes, but no problems to date. Last trip to the dyno 423/528. More now and this tranny is holding up fine. The Monster will just be for insurance when the H/P gets big.
