Your transmission will be fine. No you dont have to switch anything. If your looking for performance. you'll want to get better gears out back.

So you have a stock trans.... but is a T5 or an AOD?

Either way, I wouldn't expect it to last long.... I have the TF kit and it puts out considerably more power than a stock engine which puts out just under what a stock trans is rated at.

I went with a Super Comp C4 rated at 1000 hp... a little over kill for what the TF kit puts out, but then again, I also have 150 hp wet shot of nitrous.
