First to bite the dust?

At 750 rwhp which will be the first to bite the dust?
Clutch
Opg/Cs
Axles

DD application, sparingly drag

Anybody's guess on that one, lots of variables.

Stock clutch will slip on dyno most likely
Axles will break with a real tire on the car first good launch
OPG's will be fine unless your spinning the #$^% out of it and banging it off the limiter
Trans will come soon unless you treat it like the glass slipper it is

LMAO, love it... This is what I figured. Don't plan on putting anything too stick on that shit for meow, I guess clutch comes first :lol:

I agree with clutch as long as it is mainly driven on the street and not bouncing off the limiter all day.

I'm tuned to 7500 right now and it barely sees 7250, I'm paranoid lolol

Clutch was the first to go on mine, then wheel hop killed my right axle shortly after that. Transmission lasted a while longer but eventually had the same fate, and then the built mt82 after that.

The only thing that has held up was the opg/cs (knock on wood) I don't shift high and have only hit the limiter a time or two.

Coulda had an auto............

LOL Just kidding good luck and may the parts not leave you stranded haha!!

That's funny. I actually bought the manual thinking that it would hold up better in high HP application. This was before learning about the MT82, first mustang problems :headbonk:

Still rockin the stock clutch on my setup, still 20,000+miles deep on this bad larry.
Best thing for it? AdvanceTrac OFF. Don't launch the vehicle, and dont run a drag radial or any other sticky tire. My MPSS hook pretty nice in the heat in second gear around 50mph.

As for the power, the car made 711whp @ 7500 on a mustang dyno. Pretty sure she makes power to 8000 looking at the dyno sheet so I've been pulling to about 7800 when I get on it.
I'll get it back on a dynojet when I can.

But do replace that clutch when you can, i know im still on borrowed time.

That's good to hear, the car is only a month and a half old, with 3k miles, so maybe it will hold until Christmas :lol:

how long have you been boosted on the stock OPG? I always felt there was more hype then reality to the OPG issue and no one wants to figure out the real issue.

Clutch if street only. One trip to the track, even on stock tires, could be the end to an axle. If you can shift well and don't abuse the car the trans should be OK for a good while. Just like any other parts, sudden shocks to the system is generally what breaks things.

I honestly thing OPG are more of a just in case rather than mandatory. I initially was not going to do them and planned on just enjoying the car on the street at lower RPM levels. Then some things came up and I decided that I was likely going to be beating on the car so I got OPG, just in case something happens and I end up in a situation that could put mine at risk. I plan to run mine at Optima events so I could very well be on/off the throttle hard at some point, and I believe that is a risk factor.

I'll be running a Paxton on 3.48 and E85 with the stock clutch until the new one arrives (18k miles and a few thousand miles on a 150 shot, some 6K launches on slicks in there too).

Axles were the very first thing I replaced on my car. A buddy of mine broke his with a stock car at the drag strip. Another it took a 700+ HP and some MT ET Street R's and two passes.
