Bad ass, will you be able to retain the power windows? I'm also curious about the weight savings.

Yea the whole car needs to be repainted. So they’ll get painted at that timeYour car is way to clean to not paint them, and faster than most “race cars”

Thanks buddy! Saves about 100-110 lbs over factoryVery nice CF pieces! Do you have any idea how much weight savings you’ll see? As always, it’s great to see your car progress and evolve.
These are designed to retain all the factory stuff. If you go on their website they have 2 typesBad ass, will you be able to retain the power windows? I'm also curious about the weight savings.

Nice! I'm not transferring everything over, but good to know. I'm going to lighten up as much shit as I can from when I transfer them over.I have those on my car, after transferring all the parts over, the savings was about 75 pounds total between both doors.
I paid $4k for these, I got a deal from my buddy but yes I agree. When you get to this level you start focusing on power to weight a whole bunch more ahahahaThose are awesome and I love watching this thread. Respectfully though, I think ya'll are effing crazy for what a pair of those costs.
I'd just put another pound of boost in the tune-up and wind up with the same effect.
That sucks. That's been the toughest 4R70 known to man tho!Well transmission finally shit the bed. Not sure what happened but I pulled it out and lots of metal debris in the pan.. So that's pretty cool

hahaha yea I talked with FB.. They said that the Planetary gears at this level need to be replaced about 80-90 passes since I'm hitting them so hard lol. So that's the new plan..That sucks. That's been the toughest 4R70 known to man tho!

I don't really have much info and FB didn't give much. They just said I had a older style and newer and stronger ones have been released. I did some research and I see Sonnax has a whole line of shit for the 4R's.. He stated that he has a guy in FL going 7.80's in a fox with a 4R.. Everything else with the trans looked great he said.. He also stated that bunny hopping is what kills these gears.. My car bunny hopped a couple times at Modnats so that's probably where it got damaged. I'm feeling much more confident now with the 4R's after talking to him.. I am going to re-wire in the O/D I think so I can street drive it more too.Whoa, more info on the new planetaries?
Yea that sounds about right. I'm not sure, he said a stronger unit has come out since my trans was originally built (10+yrs ago). Yes I will be trying the 2nd gear leave as well. That was added to my stuff. I have a Cameron's Custom converter that is spec'd for a 4r (1 of 2) he's ever made so I should be able to get this car out and moving hard between the power i added with the 10rib setup and the 2nd gear leave.. I'll probably have to leave at 5k rpm but that's ok lolYeah, that's Randy Seward with the 363 twin turbo fox body that does Drag and Drive and goes high 7s.
The 'newer' planets probably just means the later years, like early 2000's vs something you were running. Also making your car lighter will help a lot.
Are you going to try the new 2nd gear leave valve body FB makes?
