What's the first part to fail from making more than stock power? Is it the clutch or axles? Is it the oil pump gear?
I see 3 possible items I need to replace before adding forced induction so I am just trying to get those out of the way.
It seems the stock clutch is good to about 500whp, is this true?
The axles seem to break on stock power cars that have drag radials.
The oil pump gear doesn't sound like an issue for previous coyote motors until 600whp. I could see the gear getting stressed if the RATE of its pump RATE is increased dramatically due to extra HP making the motor increase in RPMs faster under load, but wouldn't this mean free-revving the motor would be the hardest on the oil-pump gear no matter what the power output is? That makes me think this needs to be changed ASAP.
