One team splurges a hefty $1,800 on a high stall torque converter and a bump box, while the other team takes a more frugal approach, spending a mere $73 on a trans brake kit. The battleground is set at the drag strip, where the teams aim to achieve flawless launches and conquer the competition. As the high-budget team delves into the intricacies of their torque converter, the low-budget team focuses on the simplicity of their trans brake kit, each aiming for that perfect launch every time.
With engines roaring and adrenaline pumping, the teams dive into the installation process, facing challenges and setbacks along the way. From wiring dilemmas to component compatibility issues, the journey to enhancing their transmissions is rife with hurdles.

The track awaits, a proving ground where the true potential of these modifications will be unleashed.
As the sun sets on the horizon, the teams line up at the starting line, ready to unleash the full might of their upgraded transmissions.

Meanwhile, the low-budget team's strategic use of the trans brake kit showcases their resourcefulness and determination to excel on a budget.
