How much will the stock intermediate shaft hold? I am about to order tranny parts and i am going to be getting billit output and input but am on the fence about the billit intermediate. I am going to be putting compounds turbos on and i would like to see around 6oohp. With some racing and a few sled pulls but mostly daily driver and tow. So do i need a billit intermediate or will stock do? Truck is an 01 4x4

 

Your stock one will be fine.

If i could only order 2 shafts they would be the input and intermediate, leave the output as the weak link they are easyer to change and do less damage when they break.

 

If it was a 47rh, I would agree with Buckshotram. On the 47re, go for the input and output.

 

What about the flex plate,is a billit or BD needed?

 

I would recomend a BD SFI flex plate but I know of alot of 2nd gen 24vs @ 600hp without a billet one.

Agree! And I know of no 2nd Gen 47RE that has had trouble with their stock Flex Plate at the track.
But I would want one for serious sled pulling!

Besides a billet input and output,BD flex plate and heavy duty rebuild kit and pan. What else do i need?

 

A good High pressure valve body and a built furnace brazed torque converter from either Goerends, Suncoast, DTT, ATS, to name a few brands.

 

Did ya have to go and say that?

 

Have a DTT Valve body and a 3d converter to go in. Anything else that i forgetting?

 

I would do some billet accumulators, servo's and springs while your in there (if your weren't going to already). What rebuild kit are you going with?

 

Well one kit is a suncoast extreme duty rebuild kit then other place has one they sell That i think only comes with new soft parts( seals,steels and clutches.) I don't know who makes this kit.

 

Try www.transmissioncenter.net, thats where I got all my stuff to do mine and they were great to work with. Good luck with it all.
