Well congrats although you seem to have a nicely built car you've hurt your credibility on this forum. The truth of the matter is that 7AT's in their current state cannot hold up to the massive increases in torque. I hope your luck holds out the I'm pretty sure that when your tranny does go you'll quietly fade away.

In the end, you haters could be right and the 7AT might be the weak link when doing FI.......but, if mines still fine, in my world your still wrong. Its obvious that others have had problems but, when adding this much HP and TQ there are many variables involved that affect the long term durability of the egine and tranny. |

You might want to take a step back and see what people are writing, instead of just saying people are haters.

I do listen and in general dont start trouble. On the previous page someone stated "the 7AT cant handle the power" and at this point thats not true and unfair because mine has and still is. That poster shoud have added "some" to his statements about the 7AT. Also, everyone keeps forgetting that the 7AT problems that have occurred are with the SC not TT. When I point this out to the "haters" their comeback is always "power is power" "HP is HP" "TQ is TQ" but I disagree. The TQ and HP curve is slightly different from a SC to a TT. Could this be the difference.....I dont know and neither does anyone else. My car has been TT'd for about 1 year and roughly 2000 miles and has had no tranny issues like the SC guys. Could it happen down the road.....maybe......maybe not. If it does, I wont shy away from letting everyone on here know I am having problems. I dont like Nismo's or 6MTs or body kits on the 370 but you dont see me bashing others that do like them. Until we "actually know" what caused shumby and others 7AT failures, we cant label the 7AT as at fault or bad or cant handle it.

Getting back on point, lets discuss those stock internals. I know we haven't seen one blow up due to FI yet but clearly it is a concern when power gets that high. I believe every high powered GTM built TT has installed a knock sensor so while they are confident they are proceeding with caution.

Nice setup. Getting to the point of scary though, isn't it? 11 psi on stock internals with an engine that's 11:1 compression to begin with seems like it's going to have longevity issues.
I've got 3 real questions though: 1) is that tuned for 93 octane or something even higher? Seems like you would need higher octane to prevent detonation under 11 pounds of boost while maintaining enough advance to get that kind of power. 2) the 509 whp graph is smooth where the 548 whp is rough. Is that a tune with more advance and the knock sensors are pulling some of the advance? if so, do you give the customer that tune and say, "no problem, it's safe", or do you give them the more conservative 509 whp tune? and 3) can you show us dyno's that start down at 2,500 rpm so we can see how streetable this car would be? 4k+ tells us what it will do at the track, but it would be miserable as a daily driver if the boost doesn't come on early.

Google Static VS Dynamic Compression, than factor in what the VVEL cam set up is capable of doing, and you may have a better understanding of why that isn't as scary as it would be in a something like a 350 Chevy engine or something similar that is a more basic engine.
