Transmission Upgrades?

My truck has 16,000 miles on it. I have never limped the tranny. I ran the Superchip programmer from 2,500 miles to 9,500 miles, half in the 55 hp setting, the other half in the 95 hp setting. I currently run the Juice/Attitude, 90% of the time in level 2, a little

I have run the 125 Hot for a year with no problems. I stay at 90 HP setting and occassionally use towhaul for 125 HP. I have even towed a 6200lb trailer around on 125 HP a few times. All this when my tranny was stock. The protection built into the Edge box seems to have worked great. The tranny shop said my clutches showed no sign of problems and looked new at 36,000 miles on truck.
However, I don't think I was getting all the power as the defuel and Box protection was required too often. This truck feels much different with my tranny upgrade running threw the gears, as it should.

I don't think an increase in 50 hp capacity would allow you to run hard in 150 hp + settings for very long. It may still be better than nothing.
