TCI streetfight 700r4, will it hold?
ok, I am nearing the finishing stages in my truck build and I am having trouble finding a clutch that will hold for my 5 speed. I have a family friend that bought a chevy truck that turns out to have what appears to be a fairly new TCI streetfighter 700r4 in it. she doesn't like it because it shifts hard and wants something more stock. the 5 speed in my truck came from her old truck that was totaled, so I was considering offering to swap the 5 speed for her 700r. everyone keeps telling me an auto will be better for boost, but my experience with gm autos hasn't been good. what kind of power will the TCI trans hold? it will be going behind a turbocharged 5.3 in a 2800lb truck. would I be better off with the 5 speed?

If its going to spend most of its time on a drag strip, the automatic is going to give you better results.. Being behind a supercharged 5.3, I don't think either of the units you've specified are going to be ideal. It's more about preference and practicality at this point. If you're using a later model GM 5.3, what do you have for a wiring harness?

the swap is already completed and running with a standalone converted truck harness. I removed all the electronic trans controls since I have had nothing but bad luck with 4l60e's in several vehicles now so either way I will be running a manual, or a non electronic tranmission
