well, i think i found the limit to my tranny, or the point right past it. i waqs driving back fromt he beach racing a Camaro SS, Corvette, and Trans-am. i beat them, but not sure if it was worth the consequences. we started off at about 60 mph and just floored it. it was pretty even until about 100mph. i pulled ahead pretty nicely until i looked at the boost guage and was running 18psi in 3rd gear. i wasn't about to let off and lose so i kept going. hit 4th gear and watched the boost take another jump to about 19-19.5 psi. reached about 140mph, looked back and saw that i had about 3 car lenghts on all of them, my shift arrow light came on as it's an automatic, turned on the flasshers to announc emy win and slowed down. took it to the shop the next day and insane slipage occured the whole way. the replaced the sensor and checked outthe tranny and aske how mych boost i'm running. i asked why and they said i have worn my tranny ot the edge and need a new one in about 2 weeks at the latest.

Kinda sucks, but i won!!!!
