hey guys if i have a set goal for 500rwhp can i still RUN the truck without worrying about breaking the stock input shaft and flexplate i dont plan on doing locked shifts. but maybe a 10spi launch here and there .
 
Anything can break at anytime. Plan in getting the shafts and flexplate.
 
ok ill order then thanks! next question is these parts worth the extra 300 bucks - Complete Overdrive Bearing Kit
- Performance Low/Reverse Band
- Overdrive Bushing Package
- Overdrive One-Way Clutch
- Direct Drum Bushing
- Low/Reverse One Way Clutch

is there any benifit from running them on a daily driver .
 
Definitely change the direct drum and pump bushings, reverse drum is rarely bad and the rest is good to change yet not always necessary depending on what the condition of the stock transmission is.

Actually , PureDieselPower contacted me,
they shipped Goerend kit..........It came with Raybestos double sided high friction disks.
Much Better??................

ATS kit uses single sided "racing" stage 1 clutches??

If the converter is unlocked, I would say the flexplate would go before the input does. I think at 400-500hp you would probably be ok, but most people try and push it and keep the stock stuff once they're at 600+, and then, boom.
 
the kit i got has the flexplate insert so i think i should be good . i think the output shaft will be next thing to go. but i dont dog the truck and wont be launching it every red light so it should last me a while
