Makes perfect sense Morgan!
Ya the trans is holding fine right now, it was my mistake.
Kalebs gets tested.
Lots of downshifting and converter locking/unlocking. The advantage in kalebs setup is the weight and 2 wheel drive. I think that's where the 4wd/crew cabs will toast their units quicker.
Burnouts and 4 wheel drive launches are very hard on units.

Got a full throttle ride in it yesterday, it moves. Traction isn't bad as I thought. He punches it, and it is ripping. Perfect street setup.
The gates are dialed in. Truck runs at 70-73 pounds of boost, and back pressure sustains at 80 psi. Very pleased with boost:bp.
The bad news is he'll probably only be able to get 35psi out of the atmo without switching to a larger gate or changing housings; thats all we could push it to yesterday.
Runs really well. He'll get some vids up. oke:
Tq may be 1500, may not. I don't like to get any hypes going into these things.
We will get it on there as soon as possible. I am very pleased with it and I believe it will hit our goal right on the head.
It is going to be a great truck.
Really good news on the trans as well.

Sounds like Ford built the 6R to be like the Mustang auto. Indestructible

i know when we started messing with my hp duty cycle with high powers, i was seeing 65+ total and only 32 out of the atmo, its not always easy to drive the atmo as hard as you want. i know i tried multiple gate setups and that was the best i got. truck was definitely over 800 .. first time i ran it thru the gears it blew a piston up at about 120, in my silver truck with stock pistons. you should be fine and easily meet your goals.
Thank you Mike! I appreciate the faith and ATHLETIC support
Is the trans completely stock or is there a tune in it? Was curious about trying the stock trans tune with my Hot X engine tune but don't want to trash anything. I hardly ever hammer down on it but I do play once in a while. I do have a slight smell to the fluid but it's not burnt or dis colored. Hoping I don't have to do any trans work real soon.

If it was not tuned it would be exploded. Anybody with a tune should run the hs trans tune.
