close but there is more ......

KB BAP needs to be a dual 40 amp bap
tranny will be garbage in 2 days with those pulleys
lastly with that kit, those potential numbers, and that exhaust I see nothing but problems coming from that bent up ass kit ....jmo

alright thx for ur input and yeah I was originally takling bout the competition 40 amp bap working with the ford racing pumps anyways buut about the tranny... I think the Super street fighter would hold no? I mean it is rated to 1200hp if its not BS.. and im only going to race it 6-8 times a year anyways and it be my weekend car, soooo.

The exhaust now... idk ive seen/read of KB ppl runnin the cervini pypes exhaust without probs at 700+rwhp buut if youve heard differently then let me know specificly what the prob was.

 

[trill gear head]

Build sounds nice. I got one question though, I hope your car will be a garage queen with a 14k paint job. Can't wait to see the results.

 

[asilver2001gt]

personally i wouldn't use anything tci....order a lentech 4r70w and a PI multidisk converter and call it a day

Hey thanks Ill look into that!!

 

[Freaknazty]

pssst riddle me this then , they have 2 going on 3 cars ( that im aware of ) in the us over the 1200hp mark which one did they test it on ? exactly

The exhaust now... idk ive seen/read of KB ppl runnin the cervini pypes exhaust without probs at 700+rwhp buut if youve heard differently then let me know specificly what the prob was.

It very well might but it just goes against my logic .....

..order a 4r70w and a multidisk converter and call it a day

bingo .....

 

[808_05StangGT]

Yeah Im looking into the 4R70w now But hows the conversion? can anyone ease my thoughts

 

[Boozshey]

Cervinis doesn't use Pypes anymore. They use a magnapak midmuffler... I believe they switched about a year/year-half ago. Unless they switched back.

Jeezzzus Really??? whatt they switched like 3 times now? well if anyone has the word/vid on the new sound post it that be great..

 

[Boozshey]

Don't know, I know my exhaust is 8 months old (sig pic is old) and I got the magnas... Honestly I think it sounds the same as every other one I have heard. Of course maybe I have only heard magnas though.. haha

But, it could be like the FRPP and Steeda exhaust, just a name slapped on the same exhaust ya know. :/

 

[don_w]

tranny will be garbage in 2 days with those pulleys

+1,000,000.... the 5R55S won't live long at 600+ rwhp. Mine was mortally wounded at 18psi, and it didn't take long. That's why the 4R70W is going in right now.
