mine has a 164k stock shifts like a champ but once i put a new motor in it i have every intention of blowing that stock wimp to the sky....

It shouldnt take long, i killed 2 stock ones in about 6 months. Then i called Dirty Dog Performance and got a 4R75. The trans has took everything like a champ, the truck has cut multiple 1.5 60ft's without issue.
*Edit* i killed those after i swapped a stock 01 5.4 in mine and put a vortech on it. Long before i had the built eaton swap in the truck. It made 380hp with meth, dont remember tq. Due to a Lswap being instant power off idle i doubt a stock trans last long at all.

You won't see 300 with just a Pi swap. What about torque?
