hmmmm, for a minute I thought I was reading in Smoke Signals
Usually when I am wrong Chris sends me a PM, without that PM from Chris I would never know when I was out of line. Take this thread for example, Chris plays along and seems to be enjoying himself, I like it when Chris is happy it makes me happy.
Oh My.:baby:
Got you excited didn't it
Nah just messing with Chris and general post whoring.:rofl:
Here's my take on this
I believe Suncoast is pretty much done with the development of the Allison ,by the way this is NOT the first time I've heard this ,as a matter of fact I heard this from the deceased owner of Suncoast.
I believe that there is really no reason to continue the research and development in such a very limited market. What is available today exceeds the needs of the majority of individuals with Allison transmissions.
The cost today to add all the bells and whistles to the Allison is close to just bolting up a Mopar transmission to the Duramax and so far it has proven to hold the power and actually is lighter and faster with the serious racers.
If some want to continue developing the Allison and keep it all GM to prove a point best of luck. If I was to get into the game today and blew up my current transmission I would switch to a Dodge transmission.
Bottom line is Suncoast I believe is done with Allison or taking the back seat on any new enhancements as the cost out ways the limited market.
What is available to date meets or exceeds the majority of the market.

Been talking to Ron at SC and we're not done with the Allison. I've been working with people on different fronts and much more stuff will be coming.
The Dura Flight dies not appeal to me in the least, I have no issues with the boys who are runnin them. I myself would prefer to have the Allison due to the fact that I tow, and I am extreemly brand loyal.

I believe that there will be more stuff coming ,hey look at that neat reusable filter element that just came out (
) , my opinion is with what is available today suits MOST up to around 700 RWHP. Perhaps the 'tweeks' that come forward will make it more reliable longer lasting between refreshes but what I'm hearing and reading the Dura-Flight is the way to go with the purse.When the day comes (it'll be awhile) I would swap in heartbeat.
Dollars to donuts what is the cost to keep a Allison with all the hard parts involved behind a Duramax ? For example a ATS Extreme is 10,000 bucks! I also DO NOT believe it will hold up to 1000 HP. Maybe flywheel ,but NOT for long.
I'm talking RACERS . Hands down for any other application the Allison isn't second to anything.

I threw brand loyal out the window . I like my Allison for towing and current HP level.
for serious racers what would be the rebuild interval in the mopar stuff compared to the ally? i dont know much on the dodge end of things.
I don't think that they have been out there long enough to gather the data. But it appears that they are getting more passes out of the Dura-flight or should I say they aren't grenading forcing a tear down as of yet that I'm aware of.
If you look at the history of the Mopar transmission in this application you don't see many running to bolt up a Allison to a Cummins which is much easier then vise versa.
A season isn't bad considering what they run, I also heard that it might have been a fluke (bad part) that he broke a input shaft.
All I can say is Im going to have a 1000HP dmax here in 2 weeks and Im gonna do everything in my power to work with Mike and keep an Allison in it.
what sort of electronincs do they run? i would think it would not be to easy adding an ally due to the communications/electronics it has.
The Allison is used in many applications and configurations and power plants in front of it. The Dura-flight comes with electronics.
Idaho Rob has numerous runs (30+) on his Dura-flight.
I would think the duraflite would probably need yearly refreshing of clutches and front band and possible converter.
