It's doable, people do it fully bolted and tuned all the time. I don't because I'm running 24psi on E85 via HPTuners with full boltons and a stock clutch. I just feel like a NLS is asking for trouble with that power through a stock clutch

Some do quite frequently on a mild road course tune with no problems. Some do on an higher power tune or with an aftermarket clutch and blow it.

There are the facts. Make your decision.

i do every once and a while. and im only GMS1 and a couple of bolt ons. theres horror stories floating around here about people doing it and bye bye 3rd gear.

happend to a friend of mine with bolt ons and a tune and 3rd gear was completely gone. like blew into a million peices

its hit or miss. alot of people dont do it when they are tuned.

I don't recommend NLS while tuned if you're running an aftermarket clutch (stocker will more than likely give/slip before the trans does). IMPO, I believe NLS should be saved for that super, ridiculously close race or when you're running at the track shooting for that PB.

I honestly believe that NLSing is what lead to my trans only lasting 1 day on the BNR. While I never used the NLS feature with the BNR, all the NLSing BEFORE the BNR couldn't have been good.

Looking back, I wouldn't do it after GMS1. Just too much on the trans.
