What do you plan to do with the truck?

Are you talking about buying a new truck? A used truck with an auto?

If you are going to tow alot I would get a manual. If you are into racing and such then an Auto is hard to beat. They are very expensive to get built properly to take the abuse however. Alot more than just purchasing a clutch.

It holds every bit of power I can throw at it.. Which isn't alot compared to some of the guys around here.

Wifes truck (which will be mine as soon as mine sells) is around 500hp and 1000 tq, also has a fully billet HTS and it spends most of its time towing our toy-hauler (12k) .. Probably 20k pulling at over 400hp and holds up great. Shifts very very nice as well.

Pricing is on their website, but shipped I think it was around $6500 with every possibly upgrade.

Not sure at this point on my truck.. It runs 12.4's consistently though. I haven't run it at the track with the TNT yet so I cant comment on that.

Wifes truck dynoed at 520 on level 3 TNT and boost launching that thing doesn't phase the trans at all. I tow with that truck on that level and other than EGT's I have no issues with the tranny at all. Even in o/d going up a 6% (water flowing big time though)
