[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16455874, member: 7795"] First, badass results Andrew, congrats! I’m preparing mine for a max power Dyno session like yours, so it was cool to see what I’m expecting. We have very similar combos and I made 1045rwhp on the regular Gen 3 last year. The car now has a max ported Gen 3R and a 2.4/15% lower combo so I’d expect at least 1100rwhp. It was great to see your boost levels as I don’t currently have a boost gauge and have been debating my options, such as Lund Racing’s boost box omega. Anyway, one question—what timing did you see on the 2.4 testing? Second, I toasted a Magnum XL last year (Seized input shaft) and it’s mainly due to me running it almost a quart low (it’s a FULL FOUR quarts), but D&D also was blunt that a car at this level doing 40-160+ pulls that I do must run a fluid pump to keep the main shaft and gears cooled. I am adapting this pump currently: [URL="https://www.tickperformance.com/tick-performance-hi-flow-transmission-fluid-pump/"]Tick Performance Hi-Flow Transmission Fluid Pump[/URL] I still have a mint 3000 mile 6060 from before I went big power (upgraded to Mag XL when I built the motor just for the SFI bell and direct mount shifter) if you decide you want something ASAP. Third, to you and Klaus, you will NEVER get an 8.8 to live at the 4-digit level if you drag race at the track on a sticky tire. Listen to a guy that’s done it and built 3 8.8s or don’t and waste your time and money. Sell the 8.8 and go Strange 9”. I ran 9.55@154 in True Street last year in a full weight 4000# car with driver and have no whine. This is completely impossible with an 8.8 unfortunately. Good luck fixing the trans, but congrats on that built 5.8 power! -J [/QUOTE]
