If I had the chance to do it over again, I'd go manual and swap a built TH400 into the car with a promod Gear Vendors. 10R80 is bad ass though. Just not ideal for my use long term until the aftermarket catches up (if it does).

Thank you so much for this!

I run a Watson Racing 10 point. I personally think it's a fantastic setup. Clearance is great. Safety while driving on the street is a concern with a 10 point and most will recommend not doing so but it's the nature of the beast. I personally don't like swing outs and have zero issues going in...

The limiting factor will be the 10R80 and/or stock differential. I've looked into a TH400 swap but it's more complicated since I opted for a factory auto car. Hoping to see more aftermarket part availability soon. McLeod has clutches and Circle D is releasing a converter soon.

The dealer destroyed mine delivering the car from another dealer. Literally crumpled it up and threw it on the passenger floor after I insisted on the importance to make sure it arrives in mint condition for me to keep. I have asked and asked without getting any help. Any one able to help? VIN...

Build specs:

New engine should ship soon if it hasn't already. My apologies for being a ghost. I have been tied up with holidays and work. Here's a few photos of the engine. Turbos should be back from inspection/repair soon as well.

I know why it failed. I haven't denied that at any point nor did I claim the wrist pins are defective. I also learn from mistakes. I appreciate your concern. I'll be fine I assure you.

Yes. It was chock full of debris and oil.

I appreciate it. I feel the same way. Wasting energy on being upset only ruins your day. Finding a way to fix the problem at hand gets you back to enjoying the car

Wrist pins still failed lol

I'm impressed by what it did. Certainly no one's fault but my own.

I've talked with a few people that are high up in the industry and they seem to remember thinking the wrist pins design changed in 2018 and appeared weaker than the previous years (11-17). We are looking to confirm that as it's been quite some time but it appears to be a common theme with the...

I'm so glad I'm not like these people y'all are mentioning.

I'm just going to go ahead and toss this MPR Engine in and have some fun. That warranty was shot the day I bought the car lol

Here's the second video. Hopefully you enjoy it. Let me know what you think happened. I think we can all agree on the likely culprit of the failure.

Based on their trap speed, I would say something like that. Their success doesn't negate this failure. We both use the same tuner and run quality kits/parts. I'm not sure of the build date on their vehicle but they dodged a bullet that I just couldn't. It's impressive what they're doing and I'm...

You don't need to wait for an engine build to kick it at the cool kids table when you know words like that ...I'm sure they'll let you join them. I'm still working on my invite.

You just described exactly what happened. Kudos. I should name my next video "Boredom blew my engine!"

I had the video done. Clicked "Save As" and saved it on the current file name. Apparently the piece of shit that is Adobe Premiere wipes the file if you do that and you have to start over. I'm a little pissed off to say the least. I'll try again tomorrow night. As if having my in laws over this...
