1/17/07 took car to "local" well known tuner shop for JWT TT & VB upgrade...
Have had huge problems...don't have car...it's not drivable. Shop still "trouble shooting"???
If I were to do this again I would ship the entire car to SGP Racing for the TOTAL package...TT kit, VB upgrade, Torque Converter upgrade, A/T build up.
The last three probably cost ~ $4500 but for me at this point it would be well worth it from the reliablity and peace of mind sake!!!
I spoke at length yesterday with Mark and Tom at SGP and was blown away by their knowledge and "business story".

Right now Im at 425whp 348trq . Trq converter and VB . Running about 13.5psi with a Vortech . Plans are to go to a all cog pulley set up next week end . WHP should get a big boost when Im able to keep building boost to redline and I get a new EMU .

damn i had no clue that the vortech will get you that kind of hp 425whp man thats good how much more are you expecting to get out of it by the cog pulley. I see that you are selling your vortech what is the reason for that if your going to get the pulley or do you have 2 vortechs im lost. Have you ran it at the track yet.

I am running the APS TT kit with built motor and upgraded VB and TC from GT Motorsports on my 5AT G35, pushing 409rwhp and 400trq at 12 psi on a dyno dynamics, going back for more power soon.
Go to the drag section and click on the post one350zfan vs coachk. My 5AT is in the far lane...I have APS TT w/VB....10lbs of boost on stock internals.At one time there was a memeber pushing and I mean REALLY PUSHING 505whp on stock internals in a 5AT.I think 450 whp would be relatively safe on stock internals for a while, but its just a matter of time before something goes.5AT trannies I wouldn't push over the 450whp either without a BUILT tranny..i.e. clutch packs,bands etc.........By the way in the video I ran a 12.5 et w/109 trap speed.Pulled off a 1.8 60ft on DR's.
Hope this helps

The JATCO tranny is speced to handle a MAXIMUM of 333 lb/ft at the shaft input beyond that all bets are off................HP without rpm is meaningless because we cannot convert to torgue at that rpm..........anyway peak torque is all that counts.
CJ_350's 2005 5AT with 3.12 Vortech, DC sport headers, kinetix cats, kinetix plenum, injen TD, and 345rwhp ran a 12.3 at 113 on the factory 17" tires here in Orlando with the factory VB and a 2.1 60'.
To be safe, 450 whp on Sharif's dyno per Sharif w/ just VB upgrade. Clutch packs/rebuild recommended for anything more. My plan is for a full build w/ 700 BB turbos, but boost will be limited until we get some time-proven 5AT high hp upgrades available.

Unless I shell out for a whole tranny internal upgrade which is a pretty penny right now.
when the greddy tt first got onto my car the stock tranny only lasted 2 weeks but now i have a tranny built by Level 10 and there isn't as single part in my tranny that is stock now, its all been upgraded. and that tranny has been on my z for about 3 years now and still going strong. its still just like brand new.

^^^+1
If the member with the upgraded tranny from Level 10 could share the info to us 5AT guys, I for one would appreciate it.
