Well, after about a year of monitoring this forum, I finally made the plung and became a member. Also, just ordered Features Article volume so I can install some gauges. After I get the gauges installed, I have decided on the Hot Juice...it was a close decision with the Stealth, so I hope I'm making a good choice. Here goes my questions: I've read alot about "limping" the tranny. What exactly is this, and how do I cure if it happens to me. I've also read about making the tranny "learn" the power. How long does this take? Should I install, run around on level 0 for a week, go to level 1 for a week, and so on?? I plan to run level 2 normally, and have level 4 on T/H for the occasional Red Light Runs!! And lastly, will level 4 light up the tires...do you have to power brake? I've tried to power brake stock, and it doesn't do jack. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for all the info you've given me.

give it a day or so in level 3. You will notice the shifts firm up then go to hot and allow a dozen or so thru the gears up and down at moderate throttle.........much less likely to limp. Power brake to 1500rpms in hot the turn it loose and you will have joined the black stripe club but let your tranny adjust first......and welcome to the show :D dave

sdaver/others in the know,

Would this be your/the recommended approach regardless of the box brand? I just ordered the Quad and have the same questions for it!

the allison is much more forgiving when given time to adjust to a new power level....any new level
