Dude, work has been nuts! Normally my job is a cake walk (thats why i usually post so much!
) but the last 4-6 weeks have kicked my freaking ass! Plus I bought a little beater civic si to drive while I replace the engine in the stang so I've been trying to get the AC going (PITA!) so I can park the stang. FYI honda forums suck! And my boosted 5.0 is still going strongish on 7 cylinders at 91k miles. Gotta respect the coyote. It's been hurt for 6k miles and gets me to work. 100 plus miles daily.

Nice. Did You have to have to replace the Torque Converter?RSA stage 1 build (see pic below), still stock axles and drive shaft. I dynoed at 878 but after a retune and fixing a couple issues should be well north of 900 possibly in the 950 or more range at 18 psi of boost.
Would you message me on the actual cost for your transmission upgrade? I plan to remove mine this winter to have it beefed up and either drive to the transmission shop or ship it and would like a rough estimate on the cost it will be.
What Return Fuel system and Fuel Hat/Pumps did you use? I was thinking Arcane Stage 3
Thank You

No! As much as that is the logical answer, I happened. I broke a freaking spark plug off while changing them at 85k. Lost compression on #3. Still driving it until I get the ac sorted out in my new #2 car. And it may be sluggish compared to before and burn a shit ton of oil but it still pulls pretty hard and takes 10+ lbs of boost like a champ. Well maybe like a 40 year old ex champ... damn the more I write the more my car feels like mirror image of my old broken ass!

Still stock converter, shop told me not to waste my money on one yet since I was just street racing and not a track car. I have no problem sharing what I paid for the trans to be re done. I was quoted 4k for parts and labor but only paid 3800 because the trans was actually in good shape still.
As for fuel I’m running ID 1050’s for now, dual regulators, 10AN feed, 8AN return, SPE Tetrad fuel hat, triple TI 285’s with the third on a Hobbs switch after 5psi of boost. If I had to do it all over again I would have just bought the Fore Innovations triple setup and been done.. but live and learn!

I bought the FC3 Controller and only running 2 pumps. When I'm ready, I'm going to replace both pumps with upgrades, and add the 3rd. Easy Peasy.

I'm laughing cause at the end of the day, people always go to the Fore Kit. Maybe not the first choice for some due to cost, but eventually, it's the best kit on the market.
Me and Fore initially went together like Fuel and a Match. No Bueno. Now, I'd recommend it to anyone and help with install.

Oh. I got the car up in the air at work tonight. This is what was found.
Looks like the detent rod broke in the shaft that comes out of the transmission. The clearance is SUPER close due to everything being lowered from the K member and Engine Stands/Mounts.
Not sure if thus is going to cause a longevity issue or not.

Thanks, did you upgrade your drivetrane and OPG, Timing chain ETC? I am finalizing what I will order and or replace this winter. I'm glad the torque converter works.
