I am curious as to everyones opinions why raising the line pressure in the Allison does not help to prolong the life of the clutch packs.
I am new to the Duramax, but have built countless numbers of 400+hp gas engines, and put them behind Turbo 350, 400 and other smaller transmissions with good success. Running these transmissions in their stock form was quick death, but even simple shift kits could make big improvements. We never needed to go full manual valve body, sprags, and clutches until well into the 500hp range.
I know the Duramax torque numbers are much greater, but why is there nothing offered between a stock Allison and a full on clutch replacement kit?
