Re: best tranny upgrades???

I think the full blown performance Tranny from IPT is like 4000 or more. Plus labor. I think the PML pan is in the $200 range? But not sure on that. Toomnymods, has the full tranny upgrade, with stall convertor stronger gears, valve body upgrade and who knows what else, he spent over $4000

The Jatco tranny we have is an excellent unit. What are you planning on doing to the truck that you think requires a tranny upgrade?

I think the OP was looking for towing mods...
That still leaves a deep pan, but not much else. The factory aux trans cooler is pretty big and when towing in the correct gear the trans stays pretty cool.
I too wish the shifts were a little firmer for towing, but no programmer has been able to address that yet...

Hey Firelife, did you ever contact GT Motorsports in Rancho Cucamonga? I don't want to take anything from IPT, but just recently I found out GT Motorsports, the company developing the 6.0 stroker has been doing upgrades for our trannys for a few years. They do valvebody upgrades, torque converters, and full builds. Not necessarily for the Titan, because they were doing all of this for their turboed 350's, but they are proven to handle high boost and lots of hard driving with the Z's. Worth checking out, especially for the guys in Cali.

Re: best tranny upgrades???

Doesn't QShip also have an IPT built tranny?

I think a cheap solution would to be able to crack the tranny's TCM and make some adjustments, slight line pressure increase for quicker/firmer shifts. That's what's killing the Titan's performance, IMO.
Watch toomny's video and you'll see how quickly his shifts with the built tranny.
And don't forget, toomny picked up knocked off nearly a ful second off his times with his tranny build. That's about right in line, for the price, with other go fast options...
TransGo now has a shift kit for the Titan. Don't know any Titan owners who've tried it, but TransGo is pretty popular with GM/Chevy guys and they're running some decent power through their trannies along with a TransGo HD shift kit.

Re: best tranny upgrades???

Q has IPT valvebody, torque converter, and one of their external trans coolers. Transgo needs to add more detail to what exactly it does to our trannys...that would be a great upgrade if it can prove it self!!
