I just got the 70/130 V/A. Any of you guys running the 130 with a stock tranny?

I'm curious about the VA "130HP" myself. I have the "regular" VA LLY.

The stock trans will NOT hold the high level...

What is the "regular" LLY? I thought that's what I had. Also what level of tranny work needs to be done to hold that---actually to hold about 200hp--just in case.



Thanks

What Kennedy said...Stock trans. won't hold VA or Predator set to kill...But an ATS will handle both.):h

I don't have it in front of me, but I thought the LLY VA said about 100HP. Everyone I ask says there is only one LLY VA.

Only one LLY VA, and it is a one level box unless you plan to mod the trans. It runs nice on the high setting, but too much power for stock Allison.

That's what I thought. Thanks.

Would a Transgo & T/C beef up the transmission enough to run the 130 program on a daily basis??

I seriously doubt it. The clutches need more help than that will give. Suffice to say, the Allison cannot be upgraded inexpensively at this time.
