What did you have done to your TH350?

I was planning on building another TH350 to back up an LQ4 in an S10 (potential project), I just worry that a built TH350 won't be enough for a turbo truck.

It was a ptc kit that i installed myself. It lasted awhile and i beat the hell out of it. On nitrous i could tell it was about to go. Third hated life i was hoping it would last longer than a week on boost but i was wrong lol i would imagine in a s-10 and better kit than a base ptc it would do fine

I've been really interested in them here lately. Is that the stage 3 or the stage 5?

Actually isn't bad for what you are getting. I need to start looking into it.. The T56 won't stay long in the FRC.

I decided against a 4L80E swap in my K5, instead building up my own TH350 with lots of beefed up parts (some parts were redundant, once I learned some more) but looking back on it, I could have easily built a way better 4L80E for a few hundred dollars more.

I could have done it for dirt cheap, If I had a pre-97 case, but I only got an 02' as a spare.

Dont get me wrong at the time all i could afford was the th350 and i never expected for it to hold as long as it did. And of i was in that same bind i would do it again
