Thread: How "built" is my transmission?

Ive known a few guys with similar builds that get good power out of them, and your power #s do strike me as being on the low side. BUT that could be because of the pulley choice. And that could be do to fueling, or some other reason.

I never looked before but looking now the part number on them 0280155811 makes them the factory injectors. The AFR gauge reads about 12.5:1 while in boost so I suppose the tuner probably just maxed them out and called it a day. And yes it is just running on pump gas right now 89 or 91 depending on whats available. I don't get into it much when its on 89 tho.

hows the tranny fluid looking? smelling? maybe it needs to be tuned, or its knocking on heavens door? that's a fair amount of power going through it.

Sucks about the timing chain. I'll have to change that out asap since I don;t know how many miles are on it. Maybe I'll see if there's a performance one available. I'm sure with the extra lift from the cam it'll eat the valves if the chain fails!

The tranny fluid looks good and smells good. I haven't actually had any issues I was just curious as to how much abuse the transmission would take. I don't hot rod the car when driving for the most part so if I'm just taking it to the track every now and then I guess it'll probably last a while.
