If I installed a procharger or a kenne belle or something along those lines and had the boost turned down low ... would the t-45 hold up long enough for me to get money up to switch out to a better tranny?

yes the t45 should last a god while, long enough for you to get a t56 or whatever....as long as your not trying just to break it.

Depends on how you drive it. Mine blew out at about 350 LB TQ and equal HP. I've heard of them holding 500 FT LB's of TQ. Whatever you do don't Powershift it!!!

T56's aren't all they are cracked up to be. In that case I would get the Viper spec t56 and not the cobra. It has better gearing ratios. Me personally, I'm gonna go with the TKO500 if there are nay sellers?????
