hello , i currently have the 125 juice and would like to add the quadzilla stacked , unsure of which one . my concern is the trans which we all know it wont last long like this .





what could i do to make it better ? i am not looking to drop 5k large either . would a shift kit and different converter do me fine ? i do tow and car trailer once in a while and it will weight in the area of 7,000 lbs . i am concerned about normal around town driving also , will it shift hard like some old muscle cars i have owned ? i am really not looking for that with normal driving , thanks any help would be great

A Transgo kit with converter is said to Hold 500 RWHP .... This stage of upgrade is with in the HP stacked holding capacity your asking about ...


The shift quality will be retained at near stock feel ... When you add power or take power away you will have to give the tranny some adapt time to settle in to differances in torque ....

You should be able to stack the 165 maybe the 215.
