need advise on a magna supercharger install !!

[santomen]

I want to put a magna supercharger on my 06 SS and would like run 8 to 10 pounds of boost? What I'm concerned about is the transmisson, can it handle that kind of power , if not what do I need to do so it can? is there anything else I might be missing ? Thanks Pat.

A shift kit with Vette servos and a metal accumulator piston will help for a while, which differnet members here can hook you up with, but depending how hard you drive it will determine how long it lasts. Some guys have a stock Radix pulley/tune and a stock trans with 40-50k miles with no problem, but others who want more power go through transmissions pretty quickly. I have done the above mentioned trans work and am running a smaller pulley w/some tuning, and my trans has held up ok for almost a year now. I don't beat it up all the time, but I'm not easy on it either.

If you run 8 to 10 lbs of boost your tranny won't last to long if you drive hard.

My maggie will be here Tuesday. I did a few trans upgrades(zippy shift kit, servos, TBTC). Many have the same upgrades and are doing fine with their SC's. I plan on running the stock pulley till next spring. The stock trans needs upgrade to be able to handle the added power of the maggie. The upgrades are worth it.

had the stock pulley on for about 6 month then decided it was time for the 2.9 four weeks later tranny blew...
