    oaky this is my set up that i will be doing this summer and i need to know if my tranny has a chance to survive any track runs. cia,tb, headers,vs cam,2500 stall,shift kit,3.3 pulley,pcm. i was doing a little digging and a stock tranny is good for mid 13 runs,(or am i wrong) i think after these mods i will be in that range. can anyone give me advice on what else i can do to support these mods and also what i shouldnt do thanks you guys are always a great help.

    people blow up transmission on a stock car.

    it's all in how you drive it.

    whats the point of modding if you're not going to take advantage of the gains? If you're going to run it hard, build it so it can stand up. ( beef up the trans ) If you don't... dont be suprised when you blow the trans.

    your logic is kind of off.

    the problem is, that even if the trans is 'built', if you drive like a doucher you'll still break it.

    Of course. You can break the best built car by driving like a douche. If you drive like a douche, have a big wallet!
