most builders are only rating their "built" 68rfe to hold 550 hp. suncoast has one for over $8K with converter that claims to be over 750 but dang. it would cost a crap load to do an allison conversion. $7500 for a highly built unit with converter, $1000 for the stand alone computer to operate it, adapter kit and driveshafts then there is labor to install everything.

^^^^ have one, it's great and no complaints, but this is a "dream" tranny and mo' gears is bettah...
And forget the billet flexplate... a laminated one is the ticket. a billet's "lack of flex" tends to cause some issues.

The same TRE trans I have but a 6 speed. I love my 48 but I hate the 4 speeds. I get the same mileage Highway that I do in town. Try driving 65 on 95 in Northern Va and you will get killed, 75-80 min and man she drinks at that speed. I wish someone would come out with a simple 1 gear 500 rpm drop overdrive unit. I dont need a gear vendors unit, I just want a much lower final overdrive gear. But in a dream world a Mercedes Benz 8 speed auto. Yeahhhh.
