PES Supercharger - Available for 4.2!

Damn, just found out that the PES Supercharger is ready for the 4.2L V8. Thats's sick but its pretty expensive. So its like 410HP for the highest stage with 385TQ.

DAMNNN!!! Looks sooo good.

But will the tranny survive this? I dont think it would be smart with an already shaky tranny on the 4.2L.. And I heard more power from the engine could kill a tranny.... You think the ZF 4.2L tranny can handle this?

I concur - the trans is the weak point.

Unless money is no object....to fix it when it breaks.

I'm not sure now it translates to more power creating more trans failures. Most failures are torque converter seal failures, which really aren't related to power or abuse. Are there failures that I am not aware of?
