www.suncoastconverters.com They do converters and build all out, full race trannies. Be warned they ain't cheap. You're looking at $4500+ ! But that's got an unlimited HP/TQ limit from my memory.

TransGo makes a kit. It's like $200. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

To tune the shifts and stuff on them, you'll have to figure out how to program the TCU. The Allison is controlled independently of the computer for the truck. Maybe the HPP3 for the 8.1 can play with shift points? You'll need to call up some ECU tuning places to see.

Keep the fluid clean, perhaps a deeper pan, larger cooler, etc. is about all ya can do aside the TransGo and a multiclutch converter until you open it up. It doesn't begin to slip until ~+100rwhp/+200rwtq on a Dmax so, that has a good deal more power than you do stock. It slips the converter first, then the clutch packs...C2 and C3 I think they are.

Try www.ttspowersystems.com they are much more reasonable. The HPP3 will not change the shift points. I ran a 12.95 et on a stock allison whith a sprayed 8.1 it was a little slow shifting but did fine.

TTS sells only the parts it appears, not a complete tranny. Suncoast has kits for most budgets.

www.atsdiesel.com also builds them pretty sweet too.

I got some freinds that work for allison that are going to help me out.
