Built for extreme duty it handles over 1200 HP with reinforced components for repeated hard passes.
Key Features
- Billet 4340 Steel Front Cover: Provides maximum strength to prevent ballooning under 1000+ HP ensuring consistent performance lap after lap
- 20/65 Stator Design: Custom pitch stator generates 6200-6800 RPM stall for optimal launch RPM in turbo or supercharged 8HP70 builds
- Furnace Brazed Impeller and Turbine: Increases heat dissipation and fin integrity for sustained high-RPM operation without failure
- TIG Welded Billet Piston and Hub: Eliminates flex and weld cracking common in stock converters during hard shifts
- Precision Balanced Assembly: Factory balanced to 2000 RPM reduces vibration and extends transmission life in race setups
Product Notes
- For off-road and competition use only requires ECU or TCM tuning to match stall speed
- Inspect pump drive hub and flexplate for wear before installation
- Oversized package requires freight carrier for delivery
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Transmission must be removed flush old fluid and replace filter during install
- Compatible with stock or aftermarket billet flexplates torque to 55 ft-lbs
