HTS TRANs
 

Not trying to start a war here just have a question. Do you guys think a TQ and V-body would be good enough for 400-500 HP this truck doesent see the track mybe a dyno thats it. Just like haveing the power on hand[laugh]

HTS doesn't make a TQ that I have heard about. I think he sells Suncoast. What did he say about what you needed? I would try and give him a call if you haven't already.

I was advised by Tony at DunRite converters http://dunriteconverters.com/index.html
that up to 500 HP a torque converter/VB is sufficient. After that you start 'breaking parts' and he advised past 500 you can start to need all the billet stuff-input, flex plate etc (those are the two weakest things I believe). Pretty good guy (DunRite)to talk with, and they answered the phone right away. I'm ready to buy my TC/VB and I talked to a person from Goerand, he asked what I want to do with the truck, racing and dyno pulls? I said definently dyno pulls, and I want to go over 500 probably 600. I'm getting a input and flex plate, but there was a little flexibility there, I believe, I just didn't want to build the transmission again for a while. If you race and do boosted launches and have over 500, I think you want more than just a VB/TC.
Talk to some of the tranmission shops (as well as DTR here) they are pretty helpful also. DTT, Goerand (in my case! http://www.goerend.com/). Suncoast , HTS also has a very good reputation, but I picked Dave Goerand because of his reputation (I've never heard anything bad about him, ever-maybe that he's hard to get ahold of until you get on their 'call back' list they only have 6 people in shop, I called early morning) I think I'm going to be happy with Goerand from everything I've heard

Call HTS and talk with them. Very helpful people...

I called they said they would bring TQ,VB down to SCHEIDs this weekend[roll] are you guys sure thats good enough! Truck only has 7K on it but i have chattered the TQ a few times fuild is clean fresh should be OK?

last that I knew of dusty has an 05 that has stock clutches with 600hp. he said last time he pulled the tranny out at 35k miles I think and he said the clutches were in good shape. if they are gonna bring the stuff to you instead of paying for shipping thats a good deal on your part. I have a valve body to install thats improved from what I had. just havent had time to install it. I wanted someone to help or pay someone local that has tranny experience.
if you dont get to crazy I think it should hold for a while. I just wanted to do it one time and be done with it for a while. my tranny had 11k when it was pulled out.

he added one clutch on the front and the rear od, thats how his clutches are lasting and will last.

Hts All The Way
 

I live on Oahu and HTS has been great. They normally answer the phones and usually Dusty is right there next to Marianne. They were a big help. I installed my VB and TC and Input shaft. After a few minor ajustments WOW!! Is is night and day. My wife would rather drive my truck than her 06 G35. Let my neighbor drive, he has a stock 04, he just kept scratching his head, smiling, drooling and smiling and yelling this is what I am talikng about. I think you will like it. Just do it!!!

I also give a hand up to Hts. I love it and it has done everything I have asked of it. I love it when you can hear the motor tone change when just puttin around town like a manual kind of fools people.

I am extremely happy with my VB, Converter, and Flex Plate from HTS. Dusty is a top notch guy, and is always there to help out.

So what kind of price range is a guy looking at for TC, VB, and possibly a flex plate? Just looking for a roudn about figure to start saving the $ for.

I've converted to HTS if that says anything [guitar]

I need an HTS vendor/installer in N. Texas. Does anyone know one?
