Each time you limp it, it does some damage. How many times does it take to trash it? I'm not too sure on that, but I know I have read that guys have limped their tranny over 20 times and it is still going. After the first time limping it, it gets easier and easier. Look at it this way, your engine is rated at 360 hp or there abouts...you are adding over 130 hp....that's quite an increase. You are adding about 260 lb/ft of torque with that. The allison is handling it for the most part, but that is still a tall order on a stock tranny.
