exactly. The entire car was a HUGE mess when i brought it to Rodney. The shop I had working on the car had the car so bad, It took months to get everything they touched straight.

It will hold 600rwhp forever with the right tune, however, almost no one knows exactly how to do it. Seems like most bump the pressure too much or delete too much TM - not realizing you can leave a lot of it in and still shift lightning fast without losing ET. I tuned many cars running boost and nitrous that have 50-100k on the stock 4 and 6 speed transmissions and still running like a champ. Also, change your filter regularly and your fluid often because it can get nasty in a hurry from hard use. All of this of course assumes a good trans cooler while keeping temps under 185 degrees at all times.
