yes you can. as long as your motor can handle it, it should be good. since you're rebuilding the motor it should handle a good amount of psi. check the ka-t forums also and read the stickies and what not. they have more answers there than here.

no sir! well, not much at all,i personally did it it will slip bad if u leave it in drive, it does not want to shift if u stay in it .itllstay up around 5500-6500 and try to shift but just slipes badly untill u let off, then itll grab.it does better if u pull it down in first and manually shift, but u still have to let out of it ,wait till it shifts then get back in it.it may last if ur on low boost like 5-7 but still slips.the carrier bearing also gets shot kwik. mine wabbles bad at 3 gear pulls.ive ran mine turboed for a few months ive got syn in it and a transmission cooler ,and its stayed alive and thats it,best time ive had is 9.4 @78mph in the 1/8th and that was letting off in first waiting for it to hit 2nd, then getting back in it ,same thing in 2nd, and i hit 3rd right before i passed the finish line.at 12 psi.those let offs cost me a second at least.it pulls good but just doesnt want shift.im currently waiting on 5 speed swap parts and coverting.auto turboes are fun ,and they can b done but are $$$$$$$$$$$$ and alot of mods,but they cant b done and b satisfying w/ tha a1 transmission.c4 ford,tt 300zx transmission will work but as i said $$$$$$$$.
