I did the clutches in April . Unfortunately the converter was not readily available then .you gonna do clutches or are they already done, def recommend it if your going through the trans
Lol , I assume you are referring to me .Sorry about the project troubles. It seems like you've been doing everything right on your end and you're just victim of the spiteful car Gods, =) . I had to stop caring about drag racing years ago. Now it's just cool to watch and maybe go out with friends once in a while.
Most of us get greedy lol. I was supposed to run whipple stage2 on whipple tune. That's all I wanted nothing crazy. Then lost cylinder 7. And as you already know it unraveled from there. In all honesty if I could do it over again. I would do stage 2 lund tune with converter mak cat deletes. That's really all you need. Should go low 10's with out doing to much. But my thinking is if I do that I'll do this also and that's the problem lol. Hoe you get everything figured out like I'm sure you will.Lol
I hear you . I. swear each time I get a new one “going to keep it simple “ this time . Lol
I tell myself I will be happy with a low 10 second car ... that’s reliable .
I actually achieved that with nothing but the stage 2 Whipple as I went 10.2@138 last fall (with race gas /3.625 pulley ).
But then I always start to get greedy and want “more “. If I had been patient I could probably have dipped in the 9’s with nothing more than the latter whipple calibrations .
It’s hard to know when you cross the line when you lose reliability but I truly believe it’s when you put in the return fuel system to run e85 .
Invariably almost every one who adds a BAP at first ends up with a fuel system so that may be he beginning of the slippery slope .
As soon as you have the return system ,you start thinking you can run “all the boost “ since you have fuel . Lol.
That’s usually when shit starts to break . Lol
And you start keeping “spare motors “ .
When I started looking at “spare” transmissions I knew it’s time to bail .
Lol
I don’t think I am going to keep racing with the stock converter .... at least till I build that “spare” long block . LolMost of us get greedy lol.

That’s how it starts . LolI just added a 3.625 pulley and a JMS BAP.LOL
So you feel like I would gain a few tenths by going with MS190 Fuel(105 octane),JMS BAP,3.5 Pulley,stock convertor with the Whipple Tune and still would be safe on my 2017 mustang gt with the 2nd generation whipple stage 2 kit?I don’t think I am going to keep racing with the stock converter .... at least till I build that “spare” long block .

Honestly if all you want is low 10’s (may be even high 9’s) all that is needed is the Whipple stage 2 tune, like I did at first . I think you could even pulley down to the 3.5 pulley for the strip with the whipple tune ... just run unleaded race gas (104 GTP is not bad at $8 gallon )
I know some have had issues but I still think their tune is solid , at least on the 18’s. No need to even mess with the cats as their tune has “cat protection” . After I deleted my cats, with the PBD tune is when the “greed “ first kicked as I started wanting to run “all the octane “ I could with leaded gas and ended up messing up my 02 sensors (might be when any damage happened to the motor if that’s the case )
That’s how it starts . Lol
