Why did you go with the spec 3, instead of the 3+?

I used the spec 3 on my single turbo 06 and it held up great.

I want to switch to a twin disk though

You are my hero! There are so many guys that would whine and cry, bitch and moan about how Ford screwed them, etc. In my opinion you saved yourself lots of wasted time and maybe even money in the long run (lawyer wise). Good for you Nasty!

I saw this on another forum and love the pics. You've done an outstanding job. If you ever get to Germany, first beers on me!

mmm auto would be better for the track IMO, but might not be the cheapest route

I don't get how that alxe housing slipped. Hard braking? That should have been waranteed.

What kind of coating was on those main bearings?

You drive hard but things should be holding up better than that.

Wheel hop killed the tube

Clevite bearings, ill have to look for the name of the coating

3rd gear should be a broken shift fork, i was literally slamming it into gear and the stock shifter has no stops.

Im going to fix it and upgrade the teflon pads inside
