RJ MFG Supercharger kit Feeler...

So you think the clutch packs (in addition to a trans cooler) are the most important upgrade over the trq converter or flex plate for a car running high 300s/400ish

I agree, outliers notwithstanding, flex plate, torque converter, valve body, clutch plates, transmission cooler. It's my understanding (and maybe it's just favorable marketing) that the upgraded clutch plates take someone with experience to install them due to the extra thickness of the plates? Which is why lots of guys have their transmissions shipped directly to Level 10. The valve body is matched to the TCU so you need to use the one on your car, again necessitating shipping it out.

It's kind of why I was interested in the "B" revision transmission. At least it's rated at 400lb ft. out of the box. Figuring out which cars/SUV's it came on has not been easy though.

any mod feel like pruning this thread and moving the 20 pages to the 7AT & power sticky? There's alot of decent info in the discussion about the 7AT in here which will probably be hard to find to anyone searching

No one in here with a 6 speed is spending 20 pages to figure out if they will need to change the stock clutch to go FI

Get your tuner to ramp the timing down before the shift point like the OEM's do and hope for the best or cough up for the upgrades required from Level 10 or whomever

They said it's coming pretty soon, exciting stuff. It's really great that an older platform like the 370 is still getting some great new after market products and support.

If we pruned the posts about ATs and the posts about possible hood designs, this thread would only be like 2 pages.

hood designs are relevant because they are necessary and specific to this kit

I understand, I am one of those, but it did get too AT and AT upgrade focused for a bit there. Still good info though.
