Welcome to the site! You will need gears and a big stall to get the most out of the procharger. I didn't have any trouble with my tranny when I had the procharger. Others have killed theirs with a stock motor. So You may get lots of life from it or it may die quickly. Either way it should be alot more fun.

Thats alot of money! Is that with the install price included? Chevrolade has a MagnaCharger forsale for 4000.00 I think.

If you havent put the procharger on. Return it, Get his kit and use the remaining money for gears!
