you can push into the 5's on the tst with a valve body upgrade... Ive run 5/5 and it's rockin, no slipping at all getting up to speed... I have been advised however that too much 5/5 while the TC is locked will not be good...

So i took it to the stealer ship and they reflashed the the comp. Now, all is good and no smoke!!!! It was the computer... go figure!! Thanks to all for the help. Now for the next step, I got in good with the tech at the dealership, kinda hinting around on the idea of a programer. From what he explained they never realy check for aftermarket products unless you realy do damage like blowing the motor. Now the question I am asking to all, WHICH MOD. TO GO WITH AND WHAT CAN THE TRANS AND DRIVETRIAN HANDLE !!!!!
so now before you go modding... check your mileage to see if it went up like others who have had the flash done...

Since you said that about the mileage going up you are right!! I know the overhead display is not that accurate but it reads 17.1 avg. I spoke to the tech about the mileage being off and he said since i have 35's, the overhead would be about 1.5miles off/per gallon. Not sure if this is true or not but i will never really get an accurate reading until i get the speedometer calibrated correctly to the 35's.
