Thinking of buying a new LBZ 360 HP. How much more HP will it be able to take if I wanted to add The Edge when it is available?

No body really knows what the stock 6 speed allison will take right now. Give Mike L. a call at 310 674 4400 and he can give you the low down on what he knows about the 6 speed allison. He may have some small things that will help you or at least give you an idea on what is a safe limit.

Edit: I thought you had one not were thinking of buying.

It looks like the LBZ is already pretty strong and the "new" 06 converters are not liking alot of extra HP/TQ.

Here is a link to a thread where Mike L is finding several problems with the new converters after increased power.
