That's how confident I am that you are going to like our offering.

Sam is there a estimated time table on a release of the 7AT kit? Or is it just best to call and talk to you directly about this?

I topped mine out (speed limiter) within a few hours of buying mine. Sooo are we saying I can't do that again with twin turbos and a 7AT tranny?

Not without upgrading your tranny, 5-7's clutches can't handle the extra torque.

Thankfully we have Sam and the guys at Gtm to make a tranny upgrade lol now it just needs to be done and ready for purchase dammit lol

I'm sure some one can jump in with more technical info.

ANMVQ · 06-27-2012, 11:18 AM

We learing about the tranny gears makes my choice easier, Was going VB and or TQ converter now just same the 5k and get a built tranny .

Mike@GTM · 06-27-2012, 11:42 AM

If you want a little more info about FI and automatic transmissions, here is an article I wrote on the subject: http://www.gtmotorsports.com/Technic...ansmission.pdf

That should help you understand what is going on a little better.

Good article Mike

Have to dock you points for not presenting in the new APA 6 format.

KaienZ34 · 06-27-2012, 11:56 AM

Nice read mike....So what would be needed for the 7AT to handle the power that this kit (the one in this thread) is making? Just a tune and cooler? VB upgrade plus tune and cooler, or a fully built trans?

As Sam said earlier, a tune and a cooler does work well enough. The Valve Body Upgrade and a cooler works better. A built transmission is not necessary at these levels so long as you recognize the limitations of the higher gears. While the Valve Body Upgrade will certainly help in the higher gears, it is just a good idea to play it safe on the stock clutch packs.

what kinda of price range are we looking at for these upgrades? i really want to go FI with the function of my higher gears and not lose my abiltity to hit 160MPH lol (more with speed limiter off)

i love the fact that we can gain so much with a nice twin turbo kit but i dont want it to cost me the functions of my car is all. nothing against anyone just a personal choice i'm gonna have to make i guess lol

Well, here is a link to our Stage 4 Transmission Build: GTM Motorsports*::*AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION*::*GTM Stage 4 Transmission Upgrade That is a fully built transmission, valve body upgrade, and torque converter.

Also, if you have access to a transmission shop that you feel is competent enough to take your transmission apart and put it back together properly, we have the parts to build the transmission on our website as well. We should have master overhaul kits on there soon as well. So, basically, if you want all the parts to build a Stage 4 transmission, but don't want us to actually build it for you, then that option will be available.

i saw that already on the site but wasn't sure if that was def one for the 370. sometimes when i search for 370 parts some 350 ones get put in there too. just wanted to make sure it was the correct one i was looking at. is it really that expensive though? i mean $6K is alot i feel but then again i never rebuilt a tranny. depending on what you guys are charging for the new TT kit and labor for installs i gotta see where that puts me on what i want to spend total. i'd love to give you guys the business since you do make very good quality products.
