I have been running the EDGE for about a month now. When I first got it I limped the trany. So I tuned it down alittle, havent set it above 3 sence its happened. I ordered a BD converotor and the ATS co-pilot and a deeper trany pan to keep the temps down. Do you guys think that my trany will beable to hold all the power that the EDGE puts out with those upgrades?

For a little while. It will depend largely on how you drive.

Your best bet as it is only 200 bucks is to do the transgo shift kit as well

Transgo kit and the TC will help but you already have some damaged clutches so while you are putting in the transgo you should address the burnt clutches. That way you only have to go into the trans once. The co-pilot will help the shifts but the TCM has the ability to adapt and make it like it isn't there. You'd be better off spending the $$ on EFI Live instead of the co-pilot IMHO.

No.
You will not be able to hold sustained power with the mods you have listed. Rule of thumb; do not mix and match trans mods that were never engineered or tested to work together. Mixing trans mods should be tested by a qualified tech. You have burned C3 clutches that should be replaced. My suggestion is to either do a complete BD upgrade, same goes for ATS or Suncoast. If there is a problem, these companys can diagnose it and help you through it knowing that what you have was calibrated to work properly by them. No one can diagnose a mix and match problem.:D
