[QUOTE="theCollector, post: 9119373, member: 24841"] No problem Ryan. My guess is the combo is very safe to low-to-mid 700's. I look at the Terminators on the board with similar turbos to make my guess. The shortblock is MMR's Race 1100 shortblock. 1100 hp capable so that should be good as you pointed out. The heads are same as GT500 Mustangs but with GT cams (which are an upgrade even for the gt500's) so they flow better than the Terminator heads do. The exhaust isnt as big as it could be to get max power. But if I wanted full out power, I would have built a race car which wasnt what I was after..... I wanted a car I can load 3 or 4 more guys in comfortably and still be one of the faster cars on the road even with A/C on...... And the transmission is built as well as any auto shifting 4R70W I could find. It has the Lentech stub shaft and associated drum which is a weak link in these transmissions. Unfortunately he (Lentech) will not sell it by itself anymore. You have to buy his complete trans to get it. Lots of other work went into the trans by a guy I know in town that has specialized in Ford transmissions in performance cars mostly for probably going on 20 years. The only way to get better was to go manual valvebody which I did not want to do. And again, if it was primarily for race, I would have gone to some other trans but it wouldnt be a daily driver then. Which defeats the purpose. I appreciate the compliments. Let me know..... [/QUOTE]
