Default Ok. Autostick tranny
Has anyone talked to a rep about it? What is the max hp? Are they going to make upgrades (lol...right). [:I] Seeing if I should go too far with this thing.

I read somewhere that the Autostick tranny couldn't handle more that 280 HP and 280 lb/ft.

Hope that helps, that's one of the many reasons we're not getting Stage III.

MEX,
This is where you could really help. Transmissions, like whole autos, are a conglomeration of parts. To help the largest segment of PT Turbo owners (autostick), you could help us in finding the "weakest link" parts.
Commonly people that drag automatics (and they are very competitive) change out the torque converter and re-do the valving. Do you have suppliers that are currently looking at this market?
PT racers and SRT-4 racers have snapped axils; again, do you have contacts here?
I am not sure that if the Torque Converter is upgraded that the clutches and gears wouldn't be the next to go? I'll bet that someone is looking at this area now; how do we find them and develop a viable upgrade package to go with the Stage II power?

Would they give you specifics on what they would include in their package?
Would that include LSD?
Beefier ring & pinion?
What kind of stall speed on the TC? (Drag or road?)
Would they replace our lock-up converter with a limited slip?

I hope I can help with what I know.

I don't know of any companies that are working on those issues.

But I'll look into it.

Oh thank god for this site! I was estimating the 280-300 hp range as well. $2500 is not too big of a deal if I can get 500 horses out of it. I would like LSD tho. Ok, maybe I wiont give up all hope on having a low 13s Cruiser just yet...

hey they can fit a 302 mustang engine in a focus, and mod it to rear wheel drive, for the right price you should be able to fit a hemi.
