I'm sure eventualy I will toast the TC and force my self to upgrade. I'm kinda in the frame of mind that I need more power and I know I can't have it the way the truck sits right now. And it won't hurt my feelings to have to upgrade the tranny when the TC starts slipping too bad. I don't think I would toast the whole tranny. Surlely I could just upgrade the TC VB and input shaft and the rest should be ok as long as I didn't get it too hot right?
I seldom if ever "Launch" my truck. I think I did it once and maybe a few times floored it from a red light. Other than that maybe every other day i'LL get on it to pass a car or just to feel the power.

Drew Buzzy thanks for that clarification, I don't know what upgrades are available for the Jr. I haven't had time to take a look at them yet...

Buzzy I'll try the TH mode thing and see what happens I just may have never noticed it till I went up to 70hp and after it got my attention I noticed it all the way down to stock...

can you torch your tranny like it is. . .yes. . .you do a good 10-12lb boosted launch on the 90hp setting with moderate torque management, you will run the chance of welding the clutch plates together.

torque converter, VB and input shaft at a minumum, and you should be able to handle the 130hp setting well. above that and you'll need more work.

the only upgrades to the Jr will most likely be just new ECM revisions pushed down from Dodge.

alright that works for me, being I got the Jr. so I wouldn't get to ridiculous with power lust and destroy everything, I get the best mpg on 70 thats why I like it heard someone say they do even better on 100hp be nice to have a TQ Conv. and input shaft later on so I can run them with less worry...
