80e 800-1100

converter already taken care of
my out of pocket might be 1500.00

i dont want to spend 3000.00 for a transmission that wont handle a front mount turbo later. they have plenty of guys running 80e with shift kit with 550rwhp all day long.

wheatley, dunno if you remember our pm's. i cant recall if i asked what converter you're running. i really like the PB lvl2 but im worried about my future upgrades...will it start tearing it up when i decide to add 10psi+ to it? will it handle countless roll races? guess you can say im worried about spending 2k and it breaking vs spending 2k and having a tranny thats harder to break.

Pi 3600+ triple disk.It will actually brake stall to 3700-3800 though.I love it
I here what you are saying.If you plan on that boost,then a built 80E yes.

then id be 3k deep in a lvl2 with that.

i plan on N/A then 150shot then front mount turbo after the truck is paid for. i honestly dont wanna go through the hassle of swapping over to an 80e but i dont wanna be 3k in a tranny just yet. there is nothing wrong with my tranny, i just dont want to break the 60e with nitrous.

50% chance i stay 60e
50% chance i go 80e
its my DD so i cant keep breaking trannys. i really need to see some N/A runs from a heavy truck to see if its worth the swap.

my 1/8th isnt super fast but its at 83/84mph and 1/4 mile is bracket race quality of 104.-104.4 lol
