Alright for all the assholes please hold the sarcasm. I need to know what is the best trans for someone on a modest budget. I put PPEI tunes on my truck around 12 pm by 2 pm it had thrown a ratio code and was limited to third gear. After using my autocal to clear all codes and doing a trans relearn through my CTS it is back to shifting and driving normally. Although I know this will happen again soon. I have turned the truck to its economy tune and thats where it will stay.

What I'm asking is what is the best trans for the dollar. I really only plan to bring the truck up to about 600 hp.

My modifications are as follows: Cold air intake, 5 inch exhaust, intake horn, boost valve, and 100 hp Bosch SS injectors.

Now i know that doing injectors before a trans isn't exactly recommended. But two months ago the stock injectors took a dump. I decided to go bigger than stock now as opposed to later and have to pay for new ones again.

Idk guys I'm just at a loss on what to do. I knew limp mode happens but i didn't think it would happen so soon.:eek:

No issues with my Allison running in the 10's for over a year.

With the advancements that have been made over the years I don't think a 48PCS conversion is needed until you really start pushing the power..

In a full race application, a 48 has it's place, but it's nowhere near "budget"

No such thing as 100hp injectors

Were the tunes adjusted for the injectors? It's easy to limp a stock Trans.

Okay so lets say if the dealer i bought them off called them 100 hp then they are maybe 30%'s. What i know is they are not stock. Yes the tune was adjusted for the injectors.

What I'm saying is I'd be wary of places that sell injectors rated by hp

Danville or Fleece. You're right there. Be ready for the cost, though. It isnt cheap.
