I run a 3800 stall in my 518 with lock up. I used to run a 2600 for 2
years, never a failure; and that's a lot of N2O and blower abuse. The LU
really helped the street driving. I drive it every day and can honestly say
it's very liveable(just don't flash it). The company is Brittons racing
TQ's. They are located in Houston,TX. cost $400. He's a really nice guy,
stands behind his work.
( no, I don't get any kickbacks, but I'm still working on it)
