I agree its a huuuge mistake to skimp out on those parts. But it really is a solid transmission. The internals are superior to a t56. But that doesnt mean both transmissions cant be built to ****, and both can break.
I mean hell... most people dont know that the MT82 comes factory with carbon synchros. The ONLY 2 things I would like the after market to touch upon, is the input shaft and the fifth gear synchro. 1-2 and 3-4 synchros are MUCH beefier and more complex then the 5-6. Still carbon.. but not as big. Its no smaller then a t56 fifth gear synchro... but still. Fifth gear itself looks VERY strong.. as it should considering its 1:1. And they do have hardened input shafts out now. Whenever I have to open the trans again (not if, but when...as its part of the hobby), I plan to pick up an input shaft. Ill likely NEVER hurt the stock one. But its nice to have. I do however plan on wearing synchros out in the future. Ive gotten lucky so far... havent missed a gear yet since its been back together... no thanks to the mcleod.

Now you're rambling... I mentioned a specific intake by full name. Speaking of which, the Super Victor 351W is in fact, made by Edelbrock. Always has been. Been around since 2001 or earlier. I left no question WHAT was being mentioned and was NEVER comparing!
Get that outta your BIG FUGIN' HEAD! I suppose I should've said "spider" and let you look that up to see what I meant. It's a carb style intake with EFI installed.
My point was and is, carbs won't touch the correctly done EFI and that would include any intake someone can make work well enough.

Pressure plate problems.... Atleast thats the issue with the stock clutch in mustangs. At that RPM, it hangs up a bit and you will grind every gear if you dont allow it time to disengage. I also think its hysterical that all the 5.0 guys bitch and moan and complain about the MT82 itself having shifting issues...and they reference the clutch pedal sticking to the floor as an issue....
BTW....i did that back in 07.....well 06 was when I gathered my parts.

http://www.summitracing.com/search/p...take-manifolds there ya go buddy. It is carb/efi any way you look at it. Its a carb intake fitted with injectors. Your the one who rambles lol

I have said that for years on the fcars. That's why I did my own clutch set-up. Of course I was called a retard along the way by guys swearing it was the hydraulics. How many retards have you seen make a clutch fit that ain't suppose to?

Meet Jeremiah. Our MT82 "builds" (lol) are identical. Same internal mods ($200) plus a good clutch assembly. He has well over 100 passes like this. Its hysterical to see someone who cant get there 5.0 out of the 13s call this trans junk. He hurt this trans initially the same way I did (bad clutch).

HUH??? You don't make much sense. Do you even read what you type?
There were lots of LT4's in the vettes. But way to go......compare a gutted car to a full production car.
I'm a hypocrite but you keep wanting to compare modded furds to stock chevy's......go figure
There's one on the chevy site that is rated at 720+......your point was again?
Yea......those 5.4 are so bullet proof so powerful every one is swapping them into chevy's..........lmfao
4yrs.......didnt the 5.0 debut in 10 as a 11? Tried to pad that up a bit didn't hypocrite.

Still no proof I see. I break it down for you. Your modded sbf in the mustang you are building......yea you know the one. You are shooting for high 11's. Bolt-on ls territory out of your built ford......nuff said??
Cause right now you're the retard or you would have one of these nasty furd combo's listed.

That's a tuff one. I think I have to give the edge to the 5th gen. Furd guys are gonna cry but stock for stock I think a 1LE has the 5.0 covered in the tests I've seen.

I can go on the ford corral and see where my ls6 stands in their n/a section to know all I need to know about a 5.4. That particular 5.4 is better suited to being compared to a ls6.
One engine was rated at 385......the other at 505. Looks like 100+ hp to me. But that's my retard kicking in. Sometimes the retard in me consumes my entire being.

It's pointless... No matter what is said, HoHo will find a way to say, "but if" and I find it hilarious that were started talking about whether or not Ford could make a 425hp engine with bolt ons(they make 600hp without them) to, "BUT THE LS7" bs... Everything, it seems, is about "but GM did better" to some... I think the funniest part is, we're not even racing. It may not be long, however, and I may just come out and PUNK somebody... The 770hp LSX454 wouldn't mean JACK that day!

I hauled my car all the way to Maryland for a Tealnet track rental. That was the first time I had heard or seen Bob Cosby. He had the fastest car there that day, a little turbo'ed black coupe that ran in the 10's. The license plate read something like ITSTOCK. he was one of the things that I remembered about that day, the other was the amount on F-Body's pushed off the line with broken 10 bolts.

That car had an Incon twin turbo kit with a transbrake on a built Lentech AOD. Like itwill run stated Bob was stationed in Norfolk with the Navy ss we saw him a lot at Atco,Cecil etc. Best guy with a 98 Cobra was Mike Smith though who hung out with Bob. He went faster than Bob and even Evan Smith(who was not happy about that)stock. He outran LS1s from LS1.com too. They couldn't believe he never got out of third gear as well. He couldn't afford the car and got rid of it later in the year. A shame. BJ had a blue 98 and went mid 12s with bolts ons gears and tires. He gave the LS1 fits back then too. Bob called his 99 Cobra black cloud. LS1 people hated that car. Pretty sure he got into the 11s with it with no internal mods n/a but I can't remember if he went solid axle or not.
