Mitch i wouldnt say that it dont help because it does all companys install either shims or springs to increase the line pressure. but u are correct for it just to go all of the sudden theres another error IMHO
Thanks for posting this. I was going to call and order a TTS kit today. You just saved my ass. I just called Mike L and talked to him about a SC stage 4. I am ordering my Stage 4 from Mike in the next week or so. I have to scrape up the extra 1000 for the new kit. I will feel a lot better witht he SC kit. Thanks again.
I nominate you for the best avatar! Sorry for the OT post but my gosh! :baby:
ok back to non-functioning transmission jibberish. :angel:

Thanks for the comments and a extra thanks to mike L for taking the time out of his already hectic schedule to help me out of a jam.
Surely ATS and TTS don't share info?????? Heck, only a few letters differentiate the two companies....
Oh, I'm not bashing. But, well, maybe I should.
I have seen first hand the components required to hold my setups torque. Only Suncoast products have supported these levels. Using Suncoasts products have allowed us ( no there is not a mouse in my pocket ) to damage differentials and driveshafts and support power levels I had never dreamed possible. Yes, power levels higher than mine are proven, mine have finally been reliable.
I'm sure TTS is selling a product packaged from other manufactures, just like ATS ( to a point ) and well they both have the same customer service. Once they are embarrassed, that's it.
While TTS does make some good products, there is a reason I don't run their trans stuff any longer. I used to run their converters.
This is a company that currently expouses the theory that no Allison can survive 10 second ET's, even for short durations. They lobbied to get the rulebook changed for trucks they sponsored so they could run non-Allisons in those trucks. The Spruill/TTS truck runs a Dodge transmission after TTS could not come up with a Allison solution.
Any claim by anyone that the Allison can live past 700HP is met with pointed insults and prompting of TTS "minion" to post silly insulting images and homosexual references in place of anything resembling technical information.
I personally witnessed a TTS Allison trans last only one or two passes at 650rwhp in a 4000lb racetruck. It was Las Vegas last year at the DHRA event.
I would be very wary of listening to sales pitches by a shop that claims just minor mods to an Allison can hold huge power for long periods, while in the same breath claim that no Allison can support huge power for even short periods regardless of what mods you perform. It sounds too much like an advance warranty disclaimer:
"Yes I told you this trans was the best, but even the best fails immediately."
Maybe I should clarify my dragging ATS in.
ATS sells products they can't support. Example: stage ? injectors. I have had the privilege to sharpen my tuning direction with stage 4 ATS injectors. The TeamSalad member that has given me this opportunity in tuning his truck was pretty much frustrated with his inability to drive his truck without fogging the state. When he called ATS for support, he was given the run around as to the specs. Sad thing is, they offer these injectors as power enhancers. The problem I have with this brings me to a point of using this company as an example. I hope this member comes forward one day and expresses his feelings towards this matter. I believe, with my past dealings with TTS, both companies are on borrowed time.
I agree. Just like the stock 6.6 sustaining x amount of torque. If, as ATS so proudly put it, " That converter will hold anything you can throw out it Mike." And boom, two later we are having to go with Suncoast for yet another solution. We are breaking every shaft breakable but yet, no longer pulling transmissions. I can tell you for sure, Suncoast will certainly be on top in the end, till the end.
Right now, Suncoast is the brand I trust the most, but transmissions stuff is quirky in digital-age vehicles. Hard to tell how much blame to put on tuning, and how much on trans hard part technology.
What I can say, is so far no Suncoast trans part has failed on our three trucks due to defect in manufacture or design.
I cannot say that for "others".
But I'm always trying new stuff, and I'm a "consumer" of race parts. If there is a better solution, even by TTS, I'm there in a heartbeat. I'm a parts whore and will run what works regardless of the name on the box. This is why I piss off some performance shops I suppose. Some are afraid I might test their product and find it lacking, so I have less choices to test than a normal consumer in some cases. Can't get parts for love or money sometimes.
