MID12sSSS Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 So when i bought my truck, the previous owner said he installed corvette servos, shift kit, and a TBSS torque converter. What other upgrades are recommended for these trans? Any reason to "beef" up the transfer case, rear/front ends, or transmission. I want it to handle 550+HP. Next summer im going to look into a new performance TC to cut down the 1/4 mi times. So im gonna start researching any and all upgrades that may be required to allow the drivetrain to handle the engine load. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

canadianVRss Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just gotta worry about the Trans. You can throw a girdle on the rear diff if you feel need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muggs Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 4l65 is stock for the SS it's suppose to be a little stronger then the 4l60 and if or when it goes IMO go 4l80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MID12sSSS Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ill look into the 4L80E swap for future reference just incase. im sure theres a build thread here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
