| You got the six speed allison? Im lookin at getting Transgo Jr and possibly a torque converter.
Transgo Jr increases line pressure to help firmer shifts and reduces clutch sliping. Its on of the cheapest mods out but, its only available for the 6 speed though

| Personally when I have the money I am going with a suncoast kit..probably a stage III or IV and the 5 to 6 speed conversion....obviously a TC is on the list too (I think it comes with a stage IV)

| ya with the stage 3 or 4 you get the 1056 TC but if you want to do it right i would spend an extra $200 and get the 1057 TC..i deffently plan on getting the 5/6 speed conversion kit for my LLY..
how many hp can you run thru that transgo shift kit with a 1056 or 1057 TC?

| The transgo jr kit is nice and its easy to install. 600rwhp/1000lbs I'd say is kind of step for just a jr kit and a 1057 but it would last for a while. If you're going to drop the trans to put in a 1056/57 you might as well install performance clutches while it's out. I'm not saying you have to do this but I know it takes me about 3.5 hrs to just drop an Ally so thats about 6-7 hrs worth of work. The transgo jr itself does not require dropping the trans.

| The 1057 converter is perfect for racing or street rodding. The 1056 would be better for sled pulling and towing and all round driving. The 1057 is a smaller, lighter converter to help motor spool up.
The Jr kit is a great entry level upgrade. I would say its a great hold me over mod, but a full shift kit or performance built valve body is best if you are in the power game. For just a tuner (like a Diablo or Edge) and thats it, I think the Jr kit is perfect.
