Theres quite a few trucks on here running them with over 400 rwhp without issues. So it sounds good to me, thats what I want when I get a built one. How much power do you plan on running?

That flt level 5 should hold up to that kind of power. 312 is that just with the mods in your sig? How do you like the pacesetters I'm thinking of gettin some.

Who did your tune? The setup you have is what I'm planning plus a TR220 cam with a yank 3000 stall. Those are good #'s by the way.

i've got the FLT lvl 5 w/billet output and input shaft and it's awesome!!! It holds up to all the abuse and power i'm throwing at it which includes a radix, 6" lift, 35" tires, 4.56 gears and towing a 4K boat.

No problems at all. FLT ROCKS!!!
