It's very impressive. I'm wondering how much abuse the trans can reliably take?

I'm sure the gear set itself is typical Tremec strong, so probably not much concern there.

The obvious ? out there are the durability of the clutches and mechatronics.

Tuning the transmission to handle more power is another unknown out there. From the information out there from Ford on the development of the car, it sounds like a ton of programming was done to integrate the engine and transmission. This will be much different than tuning an auto....you are tuning a computer to control a manual transmission.

It's rated for 664 ft/lbs so at 603 wheel it's probably just fine with zero compromise on durability.

760 with basically 100 octane tune and straight pipes and no boost increase. On 16-psi these cars will easily exceed 800 rwhp. I'd imagine that anything under 640-650 rwtq will have these transmissions living long happy lives, maybe not 150K durability but problem free existence for the average bolt-on guy.

Any Hellcat under high 880-ish to the tire is gonna get slaughtered by bolt-on GT500s. Highway rolls are gonna be ugly. 1/2 Mile won't be close either.

The Dodges seem to start running out of steam after a 1/4 mile. Much past that and will just pull away. You can't take anything away from the Trinity cars when talking about big end runs either.

Agreed.

Owner use will play huge into it as well. I think the drag strip guys will run into issues much quicker than the highway folks.

760whp in similar setup as a demon. How about them apples...

Considering they have trapped 133mph with 680-705whp, I think 137-138 is possible with the extra power. Only crappy part is it shifts at ~135Mph~ into 4th gear. This engine has flat torque though, but peaky hp.

I was fishing, rhetorically. Apparently cats are being cooked and thus removed. Note how carefully these types of posts are crafted where it is ambiguous or unclear as to what "race pipes" or "high flow exhaust" is.

I thought it was odd for you to have missed a detail of a post LOL.

I just didn't see what you were doin there
