Are you using a pump on the side of the trans to keep the head set gear (gear on the input shaft) lubricated? I broke my head set gear twice before I added a pump to keep it lubricated under boost and haven't had a problem since.

I have heard this on a few differnt trans! Also the pump will help Move the heat around so all the oil is being heatd, not local areas. Hucking up to an external heat exchange (oil to air is fine) also helps keep running temps down.

However im sure LMR have already thought of all the above and got it covered!

I cannot believe how fast this build came together. Especially for the quality of work. Very impressive to say the least. There's a lot of shops out there that couldn't do this caliber of a build in years let alone a couple months.

The dyno number is almost as impressive at the asthetics of the build. It's definitely a Show-n-Go winner.

Nice fab skills guys.

How in the world does it make an 1809 hp 3- 4 sec dyno pull on 18 or 20 inch radials? Im not saying bs, by any means......this is a serious question.

No people on the back, no straps even visible ? The back of the car isnt even down any? Did you guys fab a way to ratchet or turnbuckle down the housing straight down?

I hope all goes safe and fast at the mile. Thats dangerous stuff.

LOL yes that is how the mustang dynos are they allow you to strap the housing straight down. And if you were paying attention to the video look closely when the licence plate is shown.
