I was wondering how your transmissions are holding up with all that HP and TK? Any problems? If you wouldn't mind to post the KB system you have and your transmission type. Curious as to what these trannys can handle.

Bone stock T3650 with a SPEC 3 clutch. Has taken at least 400 rwtq and as much as 630 rwtq for 12k miles and withstood 1.50 60' times and is running strong. Nitrous, 4 different centrifugals, and a KB with nitrous. I'm extremely lucky and riding on thin ice.

Stock T-45 with mods listed in sig. I've got around 400rwhp and 415rwtq. 3k miles with no problems although I don't beat on it. Brightblue00GT is swapping his now after I think 12k or 15k. Maybe you can get him to post.

Maybe someday but in the near future. (I'd need an engine rebuild c/r 10.5:1)

I really just wanted to know if our stock trannys could take the torque from a KB.

My tranny is holding up fine so far.
If you rebuild and go with a 10.5:1 cr and plan on running a KB I would think twice. It likes lower cr's. 8:1 to 8.5:1 would be more like it.

No, I have 10.5:1 already because of the headswap. I'd have to bring the compression down.

My cr is close to 10.5:1. KB had to back down the timing some because of it. So it is still doable but not so much at high boost levels
