Transmission Upgrade

[68_GT]

doesn't seem like there's enough aftermarket parts to really increase the power output to worry about it too much just yet. I'm disappointed we can't increase out power output by 200-300 hp with upgrade turbos and fuel mods. I mean GTR's make +1000 with TTV6...... doesn't seem like the upgrade turbo cars picked up all that much for what it is.

I wonder if there might be a better torque converter for us ever ?

Circle D, made one for testing for Darrell. It hasn't really proved to be any benefit as yet. While it dropped his 60" times his trap speed fell. I personally don't believe there in any benefit increasing the stall speed with ours, however better lockup clutching would be nice.

Circle D in Houston ? I had them work on my Expedition transmission they are aweseome ! I thought our trans was toast he bored the valve body and did trans software updates for $1,100 and got it 100%. Thoght I was looking at a $5k repair ! I saw their converter shop pretty awesome.

how much added capacity ~30 % ? I'm curious at to what our current tunes could do with these, or if these will be enough to support 100% E85 ?

Yep.

Not sure about E85 , but 25 % more capacity .

PA, Performance Automatic, is a great company. I had one of their 4r70's in my 2005 Mustang and it performed flawlessly on the street and the strip. It would be great if they did something for the SHO. Circle "D" is another great outfit that does great stuff with torque converters.

[bigmoneycloser]

Being it's still in development... It might be able to be fitted for us.. I will find out their plans.. And report back..

[SHODYOU]

Agreed, pa is a solid company... 4r70w been out for a decade+
Its just an old 4sp trans Ford used on modular engines, rwd only. They can be made to hold tons of power.

Sadly this will help us none... but the more companies involved the better

Well here is one sight that can build a "performance" trans for the transverse application

2 grand and a 3/36 warranty for a performance 6f55?

Great find!

Interesting but I'd like to know what the performance upgrades that where done to the trans
