With all of those hopups have you done anything to strengthen the trans?? With that much power its a good possibility.

I also have the tripledog(back in box), now I have the PMT color screen. Do u use the outlook for the gauges? What upgrades to the tranny did u have to make?

I run the PPE Hot+2, Duramaximizer, and was using the boost controler but its not needed since i'm running the GT4094 now. everything works good with each other, will not see the max out of the Duramaximizer til you add dual cp3's. only able to run it about 1/8 to 1/4 ways turned up.

Did the duramaximizer help with the hot+2? I was told that some had not seen any HP gains in using it? Just better throttle response.

Well I do not have the outlook montior, I have gauges installed. I did the transgo jr kit on my trans, that is all I am running right now.

You should see some HP gains but they will be minimal without the shim kit or race valve since you will get all the fuel you need, but you will get better throttle response from it.

The Duramaximizer add's better bottom end power, with boost controler and maximizer added 50 rwhp could of been more but I was having some fuel issues with my fuel rail and was starting fall off to 8k to 10k rail pressure.

I was told buy bob at ppe that if I was going to get the Hot+2 and boost cont, not to worry about the Dmizer? it would not show much gains...why would he say that if u2 see results?

you will not see the most out of it til you add dual cp3's but you will get a more fuel dumped in with it for the low down grunt.

Dual CP3, too much money for now...will the ppe shim kit work?

get yourself a lift pump and shim the fprv I used 3 shims not 2 save from taking it apart again learned the hard way.

whats the difference between the shim kit and race valve? where do you get a shim kit?

I was reading on this the other night, if I wasn't half asleep the shimreeduces the amount of fuel that is recirculated back to the tank so there is more fuel to burn and the race valve uses 100% fuel recirculates 0% back to the tank.

How is the Jr holding up to the PPE tune doc? Is it faster /better than your tripple dog( i'm assuming yes) and are you running a lift pump? Thanks;)

so what would be better for mostly street use and towing and the occasional street race? looking at possibly adding a boost controller with my edge juice w/ ***.

I am going to go with the shim kit, it should get the job done.
