Some drag racing down in Mexico

Any time Zippy.
And don't worry Jason, I'll be careful.
And John, did you have a lock up stall? I think you could tune your trans to engage the lock up earlier to help you out around town. 3500 rpm on boost sounds like it could be the reason all those trannies went out for you haha

Yes it was lockup.
But now I am gonna run a 2700 stall with lockup and a custom gear ratio just under a 3.29
My first trans was stock and I knew it was gonna go
2nd trans was a Tim king trans 3500 stall and 2.93 gears and i battled trans temp and the driven gear aas machined wrong from the company and trashed trans (i got money back from zzp for this)
3rd trans was 2700 stall and 1" 3.52 ratio TEP clutch setup and TEP valve body and channel plate and battled heat issues do to gears and toasted 4th and input clutches
This trans is pretty much all gmr hard parts, a custom gear ratio a little lower than a 3.29 and TEP clutch setup with TEP valve body and channel plate still running 2700 stall.

Sounds pretty decent! What kind of trans cooler are you running. And I know you might hate this idea, but is the downpipe going over the trans helping to heat it up? You could try just dumping the exhaust somewhere else.

Its a b&m super cooler. Its a huge thick bar and plate cooler but I was still using the factory cooler as well which I think the coolant wasn't helping the heat issue so I'm deleting the factory trans cooler and only using my b&m and see how that goes. And I think I was getting exhaust heat on the trans as well good guess lol. I bought turbo headers and when I unbolted the waste gate perch from the rear manifold I seen it was leaking exhaust on the bottom side of the gasket and dumping onto the trans. Carbon buildup on the trans as well. I think boost blew out the gasket. But my new turbo headers have a whole different wastegte setup to eliminate that gasket so fingers crossed! The downpipe is also header wrapped to help prevent unwanted heat
