Well look what I found waiting for an oil change...
I company "Performance Automatic",
This tranny is still in development and they are gonna give me a call next week with some details on eta, fitment and pricing..
I will update when I get info..
This might be the answer to the transmission question..

The transverse trans is shared with some gm products. I believe the,gtp gxp G6 cars. This is just off the top of my head. There should be someone outt there that handles them. Might get ahold of TEP
 
Flyer says "twin turbo."  Wouldn't that be transverse?

Ya. The trans code on flyer makes it clear it for the pickups.. the cars is like 65f something.

SHO is 6F55 (with regular Taurus being 6F50, the 55 denotes a higher-hp application).

The truck guys get all the good stuff .....

A tranny would be nice but we need an ptu too and maybe rdu as well .....
 
Why is any of this necessary?
Shouldn't one have more fueling capacity before concerning oneself with strengthening drive train components?

Really, is there a weakness I haven't yet come across? The PTUs problem is having too little fluid capacity and no cooling. With frequent fluid swaps, it seems robust.

Is there a weakness in the trans or RDU?

I just ran across this at the local ford dealer while having oil changed.
It happened to be around the same time LMS posted to the big bore thread and I figured at some point with upgraded turbos, fuel and big bore.... We have to be hitting the wall with the tranny...
Just something to be aware of...

Its necesarry because the power window is being reached by others such as LMS and the fuel delivery upgrade path is as well ...
There is NOTHING wrong with discussion on pushing the limits of this platform.
 
It is necessary. There are few already that are having engines built, while the trans has went well beyond what many of us have felt it would it could handle already. But as those continue push it harder there will be a need for a stronger trans. I understand what getting at as to fueling, and I don't have answers or incite as to how the after market will add more fuel to the mix for more power. I just know fueling mods are in the works as well.
 
I asked for data, and now I'm accused of criticising "pushing the limits" of this platform?

I asked what are the limits.

So far, no hard data? Just, "we have to be getting there"?

As for now the known limits are when it goes boom! When it goes boom is uncertain, only ford engineer could truly answer that question as for now.
 
doesn't seem like there's enough aftermarket parts to really increase the power output to worry about it too much just yet. I'm disappointed we can't increase out power output by 200-300 hp with upgrade turbos and fuel mods. I mean GTR's make +1000 with TTV6...... doesn't seem like the upgrade turbo cars picked up all that much for what it is.

I wonder if there might be a better torque converter for us ever ?
 
Circle D, made one for testing for Darrell. It hasn't really proved to be any benefit as yet. While it dropped his 60" times his trap speed fell. I personally don't believe there in any benefit increasing the stall speed with ours, however better lockup clutching would be nice.

Circle D in Houston ? I had them work on my Expedition transmission they are aweseome ! I thought our trans was toast he bored the valve body and did trans software updates for $1,100 and got it 100%. Thoght I was looking at a $5k repair ! I saw their converter shop pretty awesome.

how much added capacity ~30 % ? I'm curious at to what our current tunes could do with these, or if these will be enough to support 100% E85 ?
