Good race option , but not a option for a street truck last i heard , due to short converter life , but i dont know first hand , maybe Rob , ken , or mika can chime in on that . And also if you have an Allison that is shifting hard , that isn't a good thing , that means its partially tying up , a smooth quick shift is the best to achieve for big power and small .

Just my opinion, but at that level you might want to erase "bullet proof" from your vocabulary.

so i guess the only one on here that can help me a lil on the trans idea is trent, ok well ive seen a lbz with a s400 push 1300 ftlbs on the street tune like it was nothing, so i purty sure i can reach that

No such thing. Duraflight I can't comment on but if your dd it or sled pulling I don't think it's a great choice jmo talk to subman

best bet would be get a full built alli from mike

the hard shifting is prob more from poor tuning than actual hard parts.

Good luck
