Rakk....I bought the overhaul kit w/raybestos blue plates+ had IPT redo the valve body, and built it myself, also replaced the intermediate sprague, been driving it a couple years with n/p, shifting is awesome, and the fluid still looks new, John at IPT is THE MAN!! But to have it built, youre right, thats some labor. I got a manual and went at it, but Im a dealer tech, so I have a big mech head start. I would do it on here for people for a good price, but I'm afraid to get that much time involved, Especially if there is a problem. I have around 14-1500 invested. Plus $250 to loosen up the converter.

I would think if you're going for serious auto power you would try the TH-400.
Th400 is the way to go if you want anti-lag, the only thing makes it better is you can use a trans brake. Finding the parts you need is the problem. ATI has an adapte, then you gotta piece the rest together, but its a tight fit, with some tunnel abuse required from what I hear. Theres a member on here that may have one SOME DAY that retains our bell, thats what Im waithg on.

Maybe I don't feel like shifting in rush hour traffic anymore.

The turbo tundra has proven how strong it can be.
Word, this trans has been around forever because of its reliability, Jeep bought rights to it! But when you hit em with big boost, the valve body kills your tranny, due to the heat from slow shifts.
