Ptc built mine have had no problems with it even after I got it so hot the fluid was boiling in it. As far as engine brake I have it in mine I hate it I have to be almost stopped just to put it in first gear. Like Adam said if you have good brakes don't get it.

BJ Mac... get the TCI direct drum with the 36 element sparg, have someone cut the drirect piston down for extra clutch and steel, use the center support from a 4l60E and new sprag, use raybestos stage one red clutches and use new bushings and stell thrust washers...you will be good for 650hp. I build these units all the time this way... will hold up to 500 with stock direct drum but your on borrowed time with that sparg. And if you use the stock drum you need a hardend race.

Question asked earlier if hard mounting is good, yes it is fine if your frame or chassis doesn't flex...meaning your suspension works correctly.

engine braking is a matter of opinion, I have built them with and without, bot seem happy
