[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16461473, member: 188865"] Update: Transmission finally came in from Bowler. Got their full spa treatment. Carbon blockers, Vespel Pads, REM polish. Bowler doesn't do the cryo treatment. They didn't flat out say it's a gimmick, but they basically said they've seen no data that suggests it does anything. They also change the 2nd and 3rd that come "advanced" back to non-advanced. Additionally, some other notes. I purchased both the OEM style quick connects for the cooler lines as well as some 6 AN fittings. Given that the in/out locations have changed, I may simply opt to make my own 6 AN lines rather than try to modify the OEM hard line. Can't say I won't be sorry to get those hard lines out of the way, they're a pain in the ass when dealing with the starter/headers. This is obviously a magnum XL. But it's the 2.66 version. I had them install a new face plate that has the pump for the cooler. (like the 6060). Apparently that's no big deal on the 2.66 ratio, but the 2.97 it takes some custom fabbing/massaging. I also had them swap out the final overdrive to a .50. This, along with the front plate for the cooler make this trans pretty unique/special. With my 4.09's this thing is gonna be REALLY nice. Here's an RPM Gear Profile for 4.09's with R spec wheels and tires: RPM, (6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st) 1000 (38.6, 24.1, 19.3, 14.8, 10.8, 7.2) 1500 (57.8, 36.2, 28.9, 22.2, 16.2, 10.9) 2000 (77.1, 48.2, 38.6, 29.7, 21.7, 14.5) 2500 (96.4, 60.3, 48.2, 37.0, 27.1, 18.1) 3000 (115.7, 72.3, 57.9, 44.5, 32.5, 21.7) 3500 (135.0, 84.3, 67.5, 51.9, 37.9, 25.3) 4000 (154.3, 96.4, 77.1, 59.3, 43.3, 29.0) 4500 (173.6, 108.5, 86.8, 66.8, 48.8, 32.6) 5000 (192.8, 120.5, 96.4, 74.2, 54.2, 36.2) 5500 (212.1, 132.6, 106.1, 81.6, 59.6, 39.9) 6000 (231.4, 144.6, 115.7, 89.0, 65.0, 43.5) 6500 (250.7, 156.7, 125.4, 96.4, 70.4, 47.1) 7000 (270.0, 168.7, 135.0, 103.8, 75.8, 50.7) 7500 (289.2, 180.8, 144.6, 111.2, 81.2, 54.4) 8000 (308.5, 192.8, 154.3, 118.7, 86.7, 58.0) 8500 (327.8, 204.9, 163.9, 126.1, 92.1, 61.6) Obviously ignore the absurd theoretical speeds.
