just get dual pumps and a turbo done deal. make more power than a tune only 6.4 and a WAY nicer truck.

roger that, my dude!

I've got my eye on an uber-clean, low-mile 12 at a killer price :naughty:

I anticipated issues with the 6r but found out that holy crap those are stout. All for now!

Hey so, yeah I guess we'll see what it can do once we get back together... I'm sure there will be other builds pop up before then that'll find the outcome!

Kalebs truck is stout but when you're 2wd and spin everywhere it's really not straining the trans that hard. How many of you guys have actually killed a stage 5 elite trans?

Whats wrong with elites 5r? If it has that 6th gear and nobody has killed one why isn't it the end all best trans?

yeah for sure, not to mention the 6 speed issues, but there may be a drastic change in 6.7 trans tuning soon, that will help alot. the biggest difference i see is , with a 6.4 no matter what you're still driving a 10 or earlier. oh my, how things have changed in 5 years. 6.7 at 600 is still slower thru the traps than a tuned 6.4 , but IMO the 6.7 has more power between the gears than a tune only and much cleaner and much more responsive. pretty sure from a dig my truck will wax a tuned 6.4, but in a 1/4 mile i would lose .

Why not a swap? If you're building a 6.7 money obviously isn't too much of an issue. Swapping a 4r was brought up as well.

why would anyone want an old piece of crap trans for a dd ? my step would be a pcs that i could engage at the track , running 1-2-4-6 ..... locking that thing up WAY early.

Seems proven if nobody has killed one. Are you saying pcs on a beefed up 6r?

1st 4:1 is a low gear... I was testing launching in 2nd and had better luck with that with my 4.30s and 38s... 2nd 4th 6th. Boom done!

The 5r is a great trans, but fundamentally the shift pattern sucks. The 6r given a little time will blow the others out of the water.

More power through the gears is probably from shorter gears in the 6r... I agree with you

I think the boys are saying that elite can build a damn good trans. And swapping out the 6r isn't going to be nessicary at all.

From my small experience he's already got that trans damn figured out!

Does anyone have a billet converter cover yet? The converter is a totally different that a conventional converter... Give it time! It's already a good thing

it depends on where 2nd gear launch puts your 60ft . either way those are all things that can be easily figured out. just have to be able to control it with a pcs. but shifting 6 times down the track with converter unlock most of the time is proving slow. i blame bentley.
