I have an edge juice with attitude HOT on mine, and the tranny is feeling it. I take it easy, but if the power is there, then you will use it playing around, IMHO.

Fill out your sig, go to user cp at the top left of the page, then edit signature.

if you do just a programmer and stick with that then a TC and VB will hold fine til about 500 or so. after that is when you need the shafts accumilators, bands and servos aren't a bad thing to do along with the TC and VB. but if you're like alot of us who don't see an end insight for the quest for HP a fully built tranny is a smart move. "we are all just prisoners here of our own device", "we stab it with our steely knifes but we just can't kill the beast" lol
