Changed to a built 6R80 trans instead of the Magnum, All the coatings are finished so once back home on 11/23 hope I can pick her back up.

~Whats the MAX rwhp range I can get away with on a fully built 6R80 before I break it, Is it the clutches that fail or is it just that "other" things cant handle that power?
~Whats the MAX rwhp range for a DSS aluminum drive shaft?
~Whats the opinion on a Sleeved block with water jacket reinforcement vs no reinforcement, does it matter once you've got it sleeved or what?

No runs yet, just a few solo hits. Weather has been crap for most of the time it's been ready to run. Hopefully hit Baytown Friday and see what she does.

Been a while, I went from a NA build to TVS idea, then to JPC turbo and now the built 6R80 change. Sooo... needless to say I have to stick to my build now and in the future deal with the rest of it. If i keep changing ill never drive it LOL! But i haven't gotten a ticket in forever, kinda feels weird. I've upped my arrival back home cause im starting to feel that inability to wait much longer ha.

I'm gonna see which track we all head too when this thing comes out, I hope weather permits :/

So you make it back January 23 or November 23? (said 11/23 in previous post). If I can get mine built by then id like to go play with other turbo coyotes! As far as tickets go, I was getting my fair share when it was a DD but now I have a truck n trailer so its a toy. I may be eating my words on the "no cage" bit lol
