I talked with the shop that suggested the .84 housing and the ATS intercooler. He spent a lot of time explaining his recommendation. He said the oem housing is a 1.00 as it is an automatic tranny. The manual trannies had a 1.15 housing. This is the reason the .84 housing was developed, so the people with autos could drop down to increase pressure at lower rpms. With the addition of the IC, there should be plenty of volume to supply higher rpms. He has been doing these same upgrades for many years and said he is very confident in the combo. If I do not like the performance, he will change whatever is necessary to get the truck performing how I want. He is also going to change the ebpv pedestal and eliminate the butterfly completely. As for the TC, I have read a lot of positive things about the ATS. The truck is not raced or driven hard, obviously, just used for towing the trailers. A friend has a Precision TC and is happy with it. Seems that there are always pros and cons to everything and also positive experiences as well and negative. Sometimes one must make a choice and deal with the results later. Thanks for all of the input. I am still looking for more thoughts.
