[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16228516, member: 7795"] Good question and good comparison. I think Tremec is solid for American muscle and has committed to the DCT for a new generation. This comes from several conversations, most recently last weekend at Power Tour where there were 2 Tremec engineers. They felt it’s was very ready for the challenge of the new 500 and C8. I asked them if it’ll hold 800rwhp, my target at this point and one was very confident, almost confirming they’ve tested it there. I also think the GT has helped Ford tremendously with the DCT tune. The Vehicle Dynamics engineer I met was deep in the GT and Lemans effort and was fully involved in the 500 while also complimenting the DCT and its performance. He basically was saying how he's a stick guy but the DCT has impressed him enough to almost win him over, although he personally would prefer a manual be offered while conceding the DCT performance on track. As far as figuring out the tuning, this is still a Mustang and the tuning market is huge. I’m hoping by adding octane and boost and bumping the limiter a bit, that the trans tuning will be minimal. All TBD, but good bench racing material eh? :) -J [/QUOTE]
