what's wrong with running headers only? Well. Besides getting tickets and such I mean. It sounds like half of the old trucks around here sound like its strait headers

A 4r100 is going to be the strongest trans you can go with.

Or you can build a 4r70w but it will reach it's max first.

Or use a 5r110 out of a SD v10 because those are badass.
