it's some BS issue about the aluminum housing changing sizes and the internal gearing/bearings and crap.. pretty much crushes the internal crap, even with oil, and it dies on start up.. if not, it will eventually wear itself out. Taking care of it pretty much means garaging over night (heated), with a shop bulb on the blower or heated blanket.. thats not gonna help when I am at work or at the movies and it's freezing lol
I blew my motor trying to top out my ride, non-intercooled.. pretty much just blew up.
Too much air, not enough fuel is what I am guessing.. plus forcing engagement of the overdrive. Lesson learned.
Selling this kit this September for a Roush M90.. not the most powerful, I know.. but I am looking at the M90/500hp kit and CAMs. At this point, I am very tired of putting shiet on and having to take it off every few months!
I am gonna get a built TCI auto trans, high stall converter (3k), light weight drive-shaft and some fat ol tires out back after that. YOu really don't need 600hp to be fast.. you have to HOOK!

I have heard a couple of people blowing there rides when shifting like that. I have been trying to spread the word on here about that situation b/c I know alot of people do not know that. Sorry to hear man. How long ago was that.
Anyway I got the lower control arms installed. Damn easy!! Thanks for the advice. I got the MT's and Race Star wheels in and balanced but unfortunately mother nature opened her legs this week and **** on my plans. I wish there was a father nature. He would be more sympathetic

My motor took a crap! Even with a safe tune.. drive it wrong or push the limits too far and it'll go a blink of an eye!
No problem about the LCAs. The LCAs to me felt very harsh and stiff, but after while it felt like it accelerated much better than the flumsy stock ones.
