for the stick guys w/nv5600's all we need is a beefire clutch and we can handle just about anything the engine can put out. G56 guy's will need to loose the DMF if they plan to BOMB the truck. me, I'm still on my stock clutch and she's amazingly holding 425+.

425 was on the dyno smarty #5 TST 2/1, however just before I strapped in I was running my TST on 4/2 without any slipping and my lift pump was also able to keep up as well

 

I've got my Bully Dog turned up so Im guessing somwhere around 400hp,, don't know what's actually getting to the wheels. Keep in mind though, I drive like I have some good sense. I'm easy on it and only get on it in traffic and stuff when I need to. If I do take off hard, the trans slips. It slips with the programmer in the middle setting. The first setting is pretty safe, it only adds like 45hp.

 

I'm not really sure how much I'm getting, everything says they will add XXX amount of power, but in reality some of them work together, so you don't see the wholeamout of all the parts. I started with the 235 engine. Any guesses?

 

well, with a completely broke tranny i was at 280 on the stocker pretty much gone...but now with the smarty and mostly billet tranny, i would like to see 400 or soo...ill know next week, i am now going on my third torque converter and hopefully that last...after installing the smarty....its a whole new truck...and the rest of my mods are in the sig...

 

I run my power puck on the 60 hp setting and it seems to be fine, but I can turn it on the 90 hp setting and I can feel the transmission slip when I get on it. Be careful!

 

I tried it a couple times. Set the slip percentage to show on the monitor and put the Edge on 5. Don't have to push too hard on the skinny pedal to get slippage. Usually I only run it on 1 or 2 and shows no slippage.

 

Well that ansews my question. 60 HP max for me right now till I can do something about the tranny!!
Thanks

 

this is all good stuff to know considering i had planned to go up in H/P w/ a chip shortly..... maybe i will put the upgrade money into a new tranny so i will be safe[:-]
