Plug in booster with the 48RE?

I have recently been looking to up the power on my 03 Ram. I have the 235 HP Cal version with the 48RE tranny. I went on Bully Dog's website and saw a 4' exhaust system and RFI air filter system which I will probobly get. If i were to add one of those "plug in" sensors which gives you 70HP increase, will that be too much for my tranny? Thanks

If the stock 48RE can handle the HO's power (305 555), it can certainly handle the box.

I believe the 305HP/555 tourque is only for the 6speed. The auto versions are at 250 HP.

Re:Plug in booster with the 48RE?

I stand corrected. I guess we are not used to stock HO diesels in California. I was going to go with the Bully Dog 4' exhaust and RFI air intake system. Can you suggest a good plug in module to use? Thanks for all the info...
