Any thoughts? I > will NEVER be towing anything with my car. What do you > mean "steady state manner?" Your AT will be fine... by steady state I mean the average HP used over a specified mileage. Lets say you average 35 HP over a 50 mile trip with just the car, tow a 600lb boat and your average may go up to say 45 or 50 to keep the same speed. Asking it to put out an average of 35HP will be fine for a stocker but ask 45 or 50 of it and it will run hotter, perhaps too hot especially for cheap aftermarket parts. Many built up engines are fine for general acceleration when its only used in short spurts, but ask them to put it out for seveal minutes or more and they will overheat. *these numbers are just to show the idea... they are not necessarily the actual HP usage* Keith > > > > > ===== > Aaron Clow - http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ > '71 FI AT Square - On the Road > '71 FI AT Fasty - Off the Road > '71 AT Square - the Parts Bin > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Protect your identity with Yahoo!
