Boost is dangerous...

Boost is dangerous...
OK, so I just got my blower put in my car several days ago and have been babying (sp?) it...up until tonight. On the way home from a local Jack In The Box, I decided to completely open it up as far as I could get it to go before I either ran out of road or motor...which ever came first. Since I drive an automatic without the VB mod yet, I think I might have shaved off about 25k work of miles off my tranny...but god was it fun! The road was a little damp so I spun when boost kicked in...shut it down at around 140 but it felt like it could pull a little more (probably just in my head)...never ceases to amaze me what forced induction can do...

I doubt you blew 25k off your tranny.
I just have trouble believing:
1)One solid romp will kill your tranny
2)The VB Mod completely saves a tranny that is boosted so it will last forever.
I'm not being mean, I really want to know these things! I'm installng my V1 SC in a couple of weeks, and don't have the money for a VB Mod!

Of course one run won't kill the tranny. doing it repeatedly while boosting will. And the VB mod doesn't completely save the tranny, it's just prolonging the inevitible. Only totally rebuilding the tranny with all upgraded parts will allow it to reliably hold the power for the duration, and even then there are no guarantees just like people blow up their trannies on stock cars.

2) And no, it does not completely save the tranny, it just (as Shadow said) prolongs the inevitible. When I get the VB, I will have peace of mind about pushing it more often...but eventually, I expect the tranny to go bye bye.
wait a minute, you were doing 140 on a damp road? and the boost is dangerous?
