I just bought a used built transmission. It has the full works, built by Eric (RIP) @ Dynotech performance. Here's what it has:

Dynotech Performance Stage 2 Transmission: 3.29 Gears, Single 15/16 Chain drive, shift kit, hardened 4th clutch hub, 3000 Stall TC, 300M Input Shaft, Quaife LSD, ~40K Miles.

The guy I bought it from was only running a 3.4 with headers, so it never saw any big power. He also said he never ran it at the track and it never had slicks or anything like that run.

What I want to know is will this chain last? I'm getting conflicting statements from people. First of all is this chain considered better than stock? My car makes 280 WHP right now, but I eventually want to throw an XP cam and Gen V on it and make around 330-340 whp, that's my end goal. I want to run mid-high 12's, that's my goal. Do you think the chain will handle this kind of power consistently? My car weighs 3600 lbs right now as well, and I will be doing some weight reduction to get that down a bit.

I only go to the track 1-3 times a year, if that. The car is my DD, and I open it up once in a while.

Should I change the chain out for a 7/8" chain? I really don't have the money to but I might be able to come up with it.

Chris,

I know what Wbody site says but this is my personal experience. 7/8ths is stronger I had a gear set from Eric and I snapped it just driving. the 7/8ths stretches and the 15/16ths just breaks

my personal trans chain

Not hit the dyno yet
Gen V, i/c, cam, stock heads PRJ was guessing some where in the 350whp range

Were you racing or anything? What kind of abuse did it see? When it broke were you just driving normally?

That's not what I wanted to hear, damnit. My car makes 280 WHP, but I do have plans to cam it and throw a Gen V on it and make around 320-340 whp.

Chris,

yes it had seen the track with Hoosiers QTP but the day it snapped I was just driving on my way home from work going from a red light not hard just normal

as far as abuse I didn't spend money on my car to make it fast, to just drive it
