Hey guys I just wondering what kinda line pressure you guys run with a LBA Griner TB/VB ?

The trans has a 3.2 lever in an 800HP Hemi application.

Also, which port do you use to check the fluid pressure in the 727 ?

Thanks !!

I use the 4.2 lever
Why the 3 lever?

With a Griner VB (high line pressure and high volume fluid circuits) you don't need high ratio levers. Some even use a 2.9. With a lower ratio, there is less chance of direct clutch/kickdown band timing problems.

From memory they are factory set to 190 psi

Thanx Al - which port on the case is used to check like pressure ?

As an FYI. The more line pressure you run the more the pump works and the more parasitic lose you have from said pump. IOW, more line pressure robs HP and Griners have a lot of line pressure!

Comp Eliminator guys will wind the line pressure down to around 80 psi
190 psi might have been the max, and 165 psi was standard, my memory is fading....

Very true.

Griner does such a good job with shift overlap though that I think his valvebodies might perhaps offset the pressure liability. And his brake releases super quick for pro tree stuff.

Thanks fellas....

As an aside, Im also curious as to what band adjustment is use on F&R bands with the Griner VB and a 3.2 lever?
