The Bad News- I Have An Automatic. I Burned The Tranny Out Twice And Sheared Off The Bolts On The Torque Converter. Wiped Them Both Out.
I Have Quit Hotshotting But Left The Ez On The Truck. I Have A Sfi Flexplate, A Ptc Triple Disk Torque Converter, Better Disks, And Valve Body. Ptc In Muscle Shoals Built It For Me. I Also Changed The Trans Cooler To 2 10"x 15" S Flow And A 30" Finned Cooler. It Stays Real Cool In Od When Going Fast. 75mph. It Warms Up In Town. Right Now I'm Looking For A Lockup Switch That I'm Comfortable With. I Am Trying To Design It Myself But Having Problems. I Put Guages (pyrometer, Tranns Temp, And Boost) On My Truck. The Temps Stay Low And Boost Is Fine.
I Like The Ez But Either Set It At 1,2, Or 3 Or Plan On Doing Trans Work If Your Loading It Heavy. I Love The Power And Torque. I Seen One On Ebay For $215 Yesterday. They Range From There To $450. The're Easy To Install. I Don't Know About Other Units But To Me It Was Pretty Cheap Hp. Believe It Or Not I Bought Mine Used And Have Had It On There Since '04.
I thought the EZ only had 3 settings, how did you set it on 5? I don't think 65 horses from the EZ should fry your tranny.
