Default See, I love your "wait and watch" approach!...

Seriously, has ANYONE blown his stock Tip tranny on his car? Even if so, I bet it took a while. But in fact TheDonn is not Stage III-, he doesn't have downpipes, which make a big difference. Plus if he runs the Stage III- Giac code... And yeah, if you drive the ***** out of your car than things are going to BREAK.

especially if it was in awesome condition when you got it.

Default if you're running 16psi anywhere above 4500rpm on K04s...I would highly reccomend a 5bar.

on stock fueling that is.

Default Haven't seen actual proof yet. I'll put it to the test as soon as these puny snails

crap the bed. One sings like a Fat Opera Lady right now. I have beat the heck out of them since day one. I am convinced these cars can take a ton of abuse. I dare my car to break down! You hear me car? I dare you!

FYI: Tips can launch too. Just got to do it right :-)

Default I seriously think that if he ran even Stage III- for a long time...

and didn't jump on the car hard all the time, his tranny would last a long time. And right now, with nothing but K04's and no dp's he isn't close to 400ft/lbs.

Default Re: "Tips can launch too"

Yeah, when I launch I get all four wheels off the ground. ) But seriously, you're still Stage I (do you even have exhaust). You could launch until Christmas and your tranny will prolly be fine... But don't count on it!
