Pure Drivetrain Stage 1 vs Stage 2

[mkvB58KING]

Hi all. I have a KLM 6875 turbo kit coming, all the fuel mods and axles/wheels to support it.

I am stuck on what trans would be best for my application. Pure Stage 1 is good for 1000hp/850tq, Stage 2 is good for 1200/1000.

I know the turbo is good for ~1200 but I honestly don't see myself pushing it that far. Would love to touch 8's, can I get there with my setup + Pure stage 1?

Would love some feedback from people who have gone down this route. I plan on getting the high stall torque converter as well.

Thanks

You'll slip 6th almost certainly with a stage 1. There's really no point, in my humble opinion, of going with stage 1 if you're trying to touch 8s.

Exactly what I needed to hear, thank you sir.

I know it's more money, so you have to weight that decision yourself. It's definitely more expensive, but also much more reliable at the power level you need to touch 8s.

I have a stage 2 available for sale 8500 + Your core. Pretty new as I used it only for a couple months only last year and for a weekend this year.

Does that include upgraded torque converter? Also, why so little usage?

No you would keep your stock converter.

Used if for 'a couple months' is being pretty conservative. That trans has 10 dyno pulls and 3 1/4 mile passes on it.

Oh, and 30 break-in miles.
