Hey guys,
I like everyone that has staged to long, have gotten the limp mode, "slow down" warning. I personaly do not know enough about this trans to talk to techincally about it but heres my question i just dreamed up sitting at work...
So everyone says the trans will hold roughly 300hp before it starts slipping and whatnot, Will adding a a trans cooler beef this up at all? i am wanting to get around 290hp when I am done with the car, butnot only would the trans cooler help launching, I wounder if it will help my trans last longer and hold up to more power? I live in Arkansas where it is very humid and moderatly hot if this has anything to do with it. any help or thoughts or ideals would be great!
Thanks !

I believe you are talking about two separate issues. One is keeping the trans cool, and yes a trans cooler will help. I believe RRE has a good reasonably priced one. The other issue is the clamping power. That's where 300tq comes into play. For that you will need an upgraded clutch-pac. I'm sure RRE or some other vendor can supply that. Anyway there are much better informed people here who can get into the specifics.

Isn't the tq clamp load 330 then slip? And hp is in the high 300's before slip...
