Has the new 03 47RE been beefed up any??
I know in my 2nd gen, the general concensus was that you could add about 50 hp without having to worry about putting too much strain on the trans. Now, in the 03s which are making 40 more HP, does that still hold true or is the trans at the maximum capability? Of course I'm always thinking about adding an EZ box but I don't want to do it if the trans can't handle it..

I believe the only enhancements for the 03 were electrronic upgrades only for more precise shifting. Mine shifts nice, no problems with 13k on the clock knocking head against wooden bookcase<<<<

But does anyone know if the 48RE can handle any additional power, what it's safe limits are ect?
