So what does that mean for the rest of us who have or want the automatic. Does GTM have a fix for this, or are they working on one?

Auto guys probably have to run a pulley w/ lower boost.

There go my stage 2 dreams.

Unless you build your tranny out.

GUTCH · 11-01-2010, 02:39 PM

What does "build my tranny out" mean? Upgrading it essentially?

How much would that cost (ball park)?

Fezzik · 11-01-2010, 02:59 PM

They call it making it bulletproof.

I have heard good and bad things so do research. Some people with cryo treat the syncros too. You can make the tranny indestructible, just takes money and what your willing to do.

May I suggest a PPG Dog Box

camuman · 11-01-2010, 09:03 PM

quick question, what is the max rated blower speed that c38 can do, and what is the blower speed of your kit at the specified stages?

rotrex blowers are very efficient, but the s2000 guys have learned the hardway that the rpm limit they are rated too is a hard hard cap. guys pushing them just 5% higher have destroyed them. this is the c30 though. but i would guess they are very similar in design, just the c38 slightly bigger.

again, not hating, these blowers generate the least amount of heat i have ever seen on a blower setup!

Do either of the above make auto trannies as well?

Q8y_drifter · 11-02-2010, 03:48 AM

Is GTM going to inspect the blown tranny to see what caused it?

shumby · 11-02-2010, 07:25 AM

Torque Converter \| Streaker \| Dominator \| Eliminator \| Autoflight Engineering \| Melbourne I'm sure there are others across the country.
