Good to see though the tranny held up well till it reached 600whp+

Im 99% positive all those tranny issues people were/are having are due to Ford's horrible tranny tune.

Nothing yet still trying to decide looking at goose tuned stage 2 and maybe an afe intake, never done my own mechanic work but I do 12v automotive for work so I think I can do it myself.

Vertini wheels - . A lot of videos on internet - pretty straight forward for most of the install for aftermarket parts

Intercooler will give you biggest gains with a tune

yea that's what the goose tuned kit it and seems I can get ~100 whp gains on 93 and up to 550 on e85, do you know what the factory transmission is maxxed at in terms of hp?

Not 100% sure but but 550 the trans can handle - I’m pushing somewhere near 650whp and the transmission is holding up at 57k miles.. I’m in the ordering process of rebuilding with trans with suncoast stage 2 kit. But 550 shouldn’t be any issues

Ok… final stages of my build… gonna replace that rubber intake inlet with something that doesn’t collapse under pressure… then gotta tap in my 2 jets/nozzles for for the meth kit and getting the nostrum hpfp in (which I need desperately running the stage 3 injectors .. I made 637whp with Evo fuel pump which is about 20%less flow than the nostrum I’m swapping in.. with the nostrum pump and meth (80/20 meth/water) I have ZERO doubt I’ll be making 700whp on e60… have the vertical arms /subframe bushings to install as well… my next posts will be a video of the dyno pull with no meth and then with meth.. fun fact , I have a buddy with a 2021 m5 competition. We ran 4 times - 2 were 0-130, I won both by almost a full car. 30-130 won by 3/4 of car and 60-130 won by 1/4 car.. which tells me I’m consistently in the mid 10.5-10.8s… this thing is a MONSTER.. can not wait to get the trans built and improve shift times….

Glad im sub'd to this build! If you dont mind me asking, how much $$ have you put on this beast?

Any issues with it along the way aside from the stock tranny slipping? Bad ass build by the way!

Any vid clips of it from outside and inside?
