Don't worry, it's only sweating horsepower. Or possibly, marking its territory?

What did you have for gaskets Chris? I went ahead and Fire ringed mine, hopin it holds up to some serious abuse.

I am just aggrivated with it & have not found the actual leak yet.You can't see much with my a/c still in tact.I will know once I get wrenching the trans out.It is fire ringed & Cummins gasket.Once the converter laid down the recall showed 94.9 psi boost & I had pedeled it to shift & you could hear the turbos huff.Need to put a lower psi cap on the radiator also.:blahblah1:
