Billet Output or Billet Intermediate?

I need it decide if I need a billet output or a billet intermediate

Or neither?

Or both?

I have a billet input shaft.....and will not be sled pulling

I have heard that a billet intermediate is a good idea, since the trans will be out of the truck for the trans overhaul......and that replacing a broken output is somewhat easy and the trans can be left in the truck and will not really cause damage when/if it breaks.....

Just need some suggestions.......thanks!!

Leave the intermediate stock. If money is not the issue, do the output shaft. Make sure you upgrade the flexplate if you have not already.

My trans builder said no need for billet intermediate. The stocker is fine. Get input and outputs...and flex plate for sure though.
