A nice pair of Billet servos, 2nd gear and 4th gear... their PT700R4SX is rated at 575 horsepower and 600 lbs. of torque in vehicles up to 3700 lbs... heavy duty reaction sun shell, 5 pinion rear planet and a host of other durability and performance modifications create the strongest 700R4 available!

9.5 inch 2800 stall lockup torque converter with anti balloon hub... the special clutch in this converter has more surface area than even thier larger 298MM converter and a special heavy duty dampener with hardened splines. The converter features Torrington bearings and a heavy duty sprag, full furnace brazing and tig reinforced fins, anti ballooning plate and hardened turbine splines. These are custom built to your specifications and fully computer balanced. A very strong and reliable converter that gives you incredible acceleration potential and still retains the converter clutch for easy, low heat highway cruising.

That is some nice stuff there Ty. Just one question though, where's the clutch?

I thought all real cars had three pedals.....

JUST KIDDING!!! I have to give you a hard time. After all that relaxing in Florida you need a good ribbing! Did you get a chance to visit Frank and the crew?
Good to have you back. Now where are the pics of the actual car all these cool parts are going on?
