IIRC the stage two is rated in the power level you want, i would run a ats trans in a min, I feel all the aftermarket kits out there are good kits, its usually the instalation of the kits that leads to problems when not done correctly. The Copilot IMO really isnt worth the$$ but others will disagree!

It's not on a manual

We have two trucks that run the same HP(600+)/tuning/etc. at the track. One has a co-pilot, one does not. Both trucks have launched with the same 60'. The co-pilot truck will pull on each shift and beat the non co-pilot truck, but by only .07.
The co-pilot is not used on the street by me, so is 1100.00 worth .07, not really. The other thing to think about though, is my tranny has lived at these power levels for two seasons, is the co-pilot increasing line pressure enough to help? I feel yes.

i got the stage 2 but i think the stage one would be plenty, and if you need it you could get the copilot later. i have no complaints about the tranny. talk to bryan he'll hook you up too
