    Thanks for the info. So what is the point of tuning the Allison then?
    Also, I don't want to jinx myself, but I have 21k miles on a very well maintained 100% stock 6spd Ally, and I am running 500+ hp and 900+ tq daily.
    Am I just luck? Will it fail soon?

    are those figures at the rear wheel? 500/900 at the rear wheel is pretty steep. They say the allison can handle the HP better than it can the TQ, but i dont really know. I am 400hp/500tq at the rear wheel with slightly reduced TM and have noticed no issues. Its been this way for about a year now. I drive it about 1 day a week and baby the hell out of it unless someone provokes me, I also go to the track with it about 10 times a year.

    I dynoed 421 hp and 635 torque to the wheel with a program that is inferior to the one I'm running now. According to my calcucations (20% drivetrain loss through the Ally) that equals exactly 527 hp and 795 tq. Can't get this stock tranny to show any signs of failure yet at 22k miles. Will let you guys know.

    It's only about 14% drivetrain loss through a solid allison (built up). Usually the Max Torque is about twice the number that the Max HP is. Check my dyno numbers. They both happen at differernt RPM's where the Max TQ is at a lower RPM than the Max HP.
