It was handling 11-12psi boost just fine. Lol. And it ran great. Pulled like a freight train. Lmao.

12psi boost GOOOODDDD. 12.5psi boost BAAAADDDDDDD (on stock head gasket). Lol. At least we know the limit of a stock 4.0 now. LMAO. XD

better head gasket is definitely what we're going to put in.
That is a lot of boost just sayin, almost at the diesel world. The cummins was running around 18 psi of boost when we first got it then some adjustments happened No we are at 25

Well that is a good note, and I am digging how your jeep sounds I have watched that video like 6 times

I like it a lot. The shifts are firmer and it feels like there is a more positive engagement of the gears when it shifts. I definitely recommend it.

So worth it. Lol. I highly recommend having a good transmission shop do it though.

I purchased it but sold it cause I read that it holds 1st gear and that you have to shift to 3rd and I didn't want that. So does the gear hold 1st? Or is it the original way from the factory just firmer please let me know
