In the near future, I am looking to supercharge my F150 (5.4L Supercrew-ATI Procharger) I was wondering which of these kits would be adequate for my application. Will the "Bullet-Proof" Level 10 Shift Kit be necessary or should I go with TransGo or Baumann? Thanks for all the help

 

Anyone?

 

hey RiceKicker

I am in the process of building a new engine for my Lightning.

I am having my trans built up with all level 10 stuff. Give me a month or so and I will be able to let you know how I like it.

 

I went with Baumann. I have not yet installed it. It's been too cold. I went with this kit b/c they also sold me two additional gizmo's do do a comprehensive valve body upgrade. Those two additinoal gizmo's are:
1.) a thingy that increases tranny juice flow up to the 4th gear band
2.) a thingy that improves the way the torque converter works.

One challenge at the moment is the install directions are very intimidating for me. There is some fairly strong "if you screw up you tranny will die" language.

I have a 2000 f150 4x4 5.4L 4r70w with a BAD ati procharger.

 

Well as long as you don't install any thingy's in the wrong place or leave any thingy's out, you should be fine! I did Transgo and all the thingy's fit right where they should and so far, have stayed there.

 

Frankinaustin,
I felt the same way about the Baumann kit on the 4x4. Take your time and it's pretty simple. Do a search on Baumann install here. There are a couple of simplifying tips on the install. One of them was on how to disconnect the electrical connectors without removing the whole connector. Good luck.
BTW, what setting do you plan to use?

'Ups the juice to the 4th gear band"???

There is no 4th gear band in a 4R100, the only band in one only engages in M2, if you never use the manual setting you'd never know it was missing.

it's not the 4r100.

Setting i'm considering is "3" since i have the ati blower. I really wish I had some experience playing with the valve body. Hopefully it will warm soon.
