Tip chip will work for a while but the level 10 kit is the best bet if your wanting to put down serious power with out blowing your tranny

The tip chip alone won't allow your tranny to maintain any significant higher levels of torque for long (ie - above a K04 turbo upgrade). It simply increases plate pressure on the clutches, giving quicker response time. It will help extend the life of the tranny during increased torque levels within its natural limits (ie. more than stock but less than 240 foot pounds).
