How to make the trans hold 500hp

[smokedout250]

I know everyone says stock form they handle 500hp. But I'm wondering I anything should be addresses to make it hold solid until I can afford a built transmission. Converter? Or just tunning?

Converter and bts vlv body is the best bet

i know a guy who owns a trans shop and has rebuilt many 5r110s. he has a customer that is running 650hp on just a ede comp trans kit. i didnt get a lot of info on how he drives it, but if you have that much power i would imagine that you would want to use it...but i have been talking to him about mine and he says for my goals (550-600) do an ede hd kit, billet input, and torque converter just to be sure, and it should be good to go for 600.

I'm think converter and see what happens....

what would you rather have give? a converter slip some, or have a input snap. I would imagine a better converter, would lock in and put more stress on the stock input.. just IMO.

what i am going to do is run stock and see how it does. then when the time comes do the ede comp, converter, and maybe a billet shaft or two. but at 500 hp, i would just run it stock for as long as possible. what converter would you go with? just wondering, i havent looked into converters much.

This is my thinking also, plus i know i wouldnt really wanna put a nice fresh convertor in an old beat up trans just to take the new convertor out.

If it were me id just run it till it gives up and put a built unit in it.

I see your point! And there's no point just throwing a converter and billet input if its gonna smoke te clutches

you'll be surprised at how they hold. rykans truck is on a stock trans at over 500 and its not skipping a beat. mine, yes it's a 6.4, but still a 5r that is easily over 650 close to 700 is still doing great. yes it's not happy, but it's living.

Mines doing fine I would just like the converter to lock some more.... But I can have everything

Once I hit 4th it pulls great just flat moves. Down low it feels like a slush box.... I hear the early locks ups will tear up the trans....

There is no valve body in the 5R110...that's the 7.3. The 5R has solenoids.

Comp kit, Convertor and my modded direct solenoid. Stout package on a budget. Let me know if I can help

I'm just looking to see if I need anything to make it last awhile. It seems I'm just waiting on a budget to appear then ill prolly call warren for a trans. Gonna try an early lock up tune from Matt to see how I like it

Good call. Been hearing good things about warren transmissions. Let me know if I can get you a solenoid to go with it. Should round out the package nicely
