How much HP?

[Strokin2237]

I have a 2001 F-250 with the 7.3L in it, it has an aftermarket billet torq converter in it how much hp do you think it is good for before i need to beef up the tranny? I have a hypertech programmer and a 4 inch exhaust with and intake coming in the mail

Did you put the t/c in if not do you know who did and are you sure the trans isn't upgraded?

with just the hypertech programmer and an upgraded tc, your trans should last a long time if you keep it cool. Invest in some guages if you haven't already done so. That is assuming of course that your tranny has no current problems that you are unaware of.

Yea the guy i bought it fromput in the billet torque converter i watched him put it in i dont know what brand it is but i usually am to the floor with it everywhere ive got a speed problem:burnout but im planning on getting the tranny temp gauge an egt gauge and i dont know what else i should get maybe a boost gauge? what are the necessary gauges needed? im new to the diesel communtiy this is the first one ive had so any help would be great thanks alot guys

Oh and whenever i put it in reverse you have to wait for a couple seconds for it to engage is that the way the valve body is made or what? The guy i bought it from said dont worry about it he never had any problems with it he pulled it and had it rebuilt with the billet torque converter in it. it seems fine i cant seem to find any problems with it

My tranny on my dodge did the same thing for about 9 months everyone said its fine and then it exploded. There wasnt one pieces still intact it wasnt even under a load when it went stopped at the stop sign and wouldnt go any farther just made some god awful noises. GET IT CHECKED OUT SOON.

Its in the valve body... There is a valve in there that gets hung up and causes the slow reverse engauge...

Gauges... Pyro, Tranny and boost are the normal three... You can add Fuel pressure to that or oil pressure, water temp... and on and on...
