Default Opinions... which FLT LVL?

What ones are ya'll running? Which lvl would ya'll recommend for my application.


As of now I plan on modding until bordering 300rwhp/tq. Somewhere round that window +/-

Since I screwed up my tranny by modding it.. I'm kinda forced into upgrading and I wanna know which one I should go with.

Thanks.

Last question... performabuilt? or FLT? I'm leaning in on the FLT's mainly because they already come with the bellhousing and all that other good stuff. And most of ya'll use 'em anyway. I also really like the customer support I get out of Vince even though at the time he knew I had no intention of buying from him.

IMO go with a FLT lvl3 should be good enough

just call them up and be honest with your mods and hp goals and they will tell you what lvl you need.

btw, if your plans change later on you can send your flt trans back in and they will upgrade it for the cost of a freshen up and the parts

I think you will be fine with a level 4... a level 5 would be nice but I don't think you need to look at that until you plan on pushing over 500 hp. I have a level 4 and it works great.

From what I've gotten from Vince (opinion), he recommended the L4 with a cam'd 5.3L with supporting bolt-ons (assuming ~400+hp @ the crank... at best, not actual ).

I run a Vac modulated lvl 5 with upgraded servos behind a Yank SS3600 converter. I couldnt be happier with it. Its behind my 5.3 with cam in sig and 150 shot. This trans is awesome.

Do you ever have any vacuum issues with that cam and the vac mod shifting hard?

I'm a little worried I'm gonna have trouble with my 224/224 on 112lsa and I'm going with a vac modded 4l60e
