will my tranny survive????

[sic40th]

oaky this is my set up that i will be doing this summer and i need to know if my tranny has a chance to survive any track runs. cia,tb, headers,vs cam,2500 stall,shift kit,3.3 pulley,pcm. i was doing a little digging and a stock tranny is good for mid 13 runs,(or am i wrong) i think after these mods i will be in that range. can anyone give me advice on what else i can do to support these mods and also what i shouldnt do thanks you guys are always a great help.

people blow up transmission on a stock car.

it's all in how you drive it.

im running a 3.3 with about the same mods as you with a bit more and my tranny is toast lol im not a kid and dont drive like a tool but from what ive read online once you get into doing more then zzp's stage 2 mods the tranny tends to fail.. but hell the cars are getting old and a used tranny is only around 350 bucks

dont beat on the car like it owes you money and tranny will stay in one piece lol

whats the point of modding if you're not going to take advantage of the gains? If you're going to run it hard, build it so it can stand up. ( beef up the trans ) If you don't... dont be suprised when you blow the trans.

Well said

Ok stupid question but when you say "beef up the trans" do you meen get a shift kit? I kno little to nothing about the internals on a trans

your logic is kind of off.

the problem is, that even if the trans is 'built', if you drive like a doucher you'll still break it.

Of course. You can break the best built car by driving like a douche. If you drive like a douche, have a big wallet!

Think more along of the lines of hardened parts
