No deep pockets just a poor heavy equipment mechanic getting ready to leave the North Dakota oil field.

its pressed on and the only time there is a issue is when guys push the rpm over stock while making more power then stock.. in this case, lots more power.. lol

Cats are pressed on also, at least in the applications I've seen lately.

I'm not even sure if a tranny will hold much more than 600

Daily driving you should be ok. When you start making passes and pushing it that's when you run into problems.
My BTS did!

They will for a while. Our limit was about 50 passes at the track before the torque converter would **** the bed if we didn't have an input shaft or some other issue before then... and yes, BTS had already upgraded all of the parts to hold the power knowing it was a dedicated race truck.

It's cam gear walk.
Worst news I could get.
Looks like I'm going to put it back into the garage for a while.
Life has been getting crazy and I just don't have the time to mess with it right now.
Forced future upgrade: Stg 1 cam.
Even though I have a spare 80k mi motor in the garage.
Don't know if I'm going to rebuild my current motor or swap the parts.
Either way the cam gear will be welded.
Maybe I'll have the time to pull the motor in the spring.

To cheer myself up I did something bad...

At the airport flying out to Florida at the moment to pick it up.

By the way nice looking car. I recently just traded my 2013 challenger for my wife's excursion plus about plus some cash. I miss that car but it wasn't comfortable on road trips. The excursion is.

Got all upgrades.
This truck does not see the sled at all and drag strip is still to come.
I have Milan drag way in my back yard.
Just a fun truck.
So I'm much easier on it then most of you yahoos!
Hopefully it will last!

No doubt.
The excursion has real stretching room!
The srt8 470 hp 6.4 makes up anything else tho...
I'll see what it can do in a few hrs!

That one was just drag strip... it only got hooked to a sled maybe 3 or 4 times over 5 years.

Best of luck with yours! They are fun, but if you do have to have warranty work, waiting for the turnaround puts a damper on it.
