Smile Well, finally

I bought xlr8nss"s Radix [new in the box,unused] and it should be here soon.
I intend to install everything stock to start, as far as pulley and tune go.
I can scan everything except afr at work to make sure all is well and kr and timing are where they need to be.
I'm installing transgo kit and vette servo next week.
My question now is..... what is it that blows up trannies in these trucks.
Any particular driving behavior that is terminal. I don't intend to track test this thing so hard launches should be rare, but I like ramps and kickdowns at various speeds and smokin whatever I can once underway.

What blows up transmissions?
also, i assume due to the radix intercooler design #7 meltdown is no longer
an issue?

Did I mention I can't wait.......

I think kickdowns are hard on the tranny

Anything more than stock radix kit is hard on the trans... LOL You'll likely notice someday that a shift will take WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY longer than normal. Tha's when you know its time to take care of business on the trans. A shift kit is a good start with the billet servos.

Look up Zippy. He's got some good info!
