A coupla things--- I am NOT A TRANS EXPERT----Only telling you what I have observed/heard in the pits!!!! Guys like Keith Lynch I will bet do lotsa maintainence on their cars and they have these cars apart and back together monitering their equiptment and doing preventative work to keep them in tip top shape---

If you ever saw the inside of a McClay 200 compared to a stock trans you would understand why he gets as much as he does for a trans!!!! Lotsa hand made or reworked beefed up parts in them very little stock stuff---

Some racers put a trans in and run it for a whole season or 2 and never even change the fluid or filters while others have em apart every so many runs--- whatever works BEST with/for your combo is what you should run--Don't be afraid to experiment!!--Look around you and see what a racer with a combo like yours is using ,ask lots of questions ,talk to the really reputable trans/convertor guys most will point you in the right direction while some will tell you anything to sell you something. Nobody is gonna give you their deep dark secrets but many will help you get close in performance.
