theres no other tranny to give chances too, the only swap available is the MTX sho tranny i think eventually alex will run out of new parts to break in his trans, and then the tranny will finally feel satisfied and stop breaking … ---

no dyno yet but I am expecting 350-400whp. my best time is a 12.79 @108. Now that I have figured out how to disable the tq management I will actually be able to launch it instead of rolling off the line at less than stock power.

Alex, have you considered finding a super low mileage trans and having the components cryo treated? I’ve read and heard of some impressive results. It might be just enough combined with the other improvements you’ve done. ---
