I've had my truck for almost a year now, and other than a few little things, it's stock. I want to change that...
I plan on putting about 300hp to the ground. 350hp at the most. My question is, what will I need to do to allow the 518 to handle this? I really don't want to go for a full rebuild, so would a nice torque converter and shift kit help? I also want to increase the line pressure to the tranny.
I have known the guy I bought the truck from my whole life (he is the original owner) and it has only seen highway miles. The truck towed a little trailer once, so in no way is the tranny abused. It has about 187K on it.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Parker
