Just a quick warning about moding your engine
Hello all, just a quick warning to anyone putting some serious mods in they're new engines, that the Tremec- 3650 is only rated to 360 ft-lbs of torque, so watch that if you want to keep your warranty on that tranny.

The Tremec 3650 is plenty fine til around 500 hp/torque. After that it's dicey.

RE: Just a quick warning about moding your engine
Personal experience. Look at the 05 Saleen S281sc. It is rated at 400 hp and 420 torque and utilizes the 3650. And Tremec stands behind it. I have a quite a bit of experience with the 3650, and it is A LOT stronger and better than the T45 used in the mustangs til mid 01. If I was running a T45, I would be nervous if I was making 450 hp/torque. But at 500 hp in the 3650, I wouldn't be concerned. I am running 450 lbs of torque in my 01(it has the 3650) and it is doing great. -And should continue to do so for 100k+ miles or more. The bottom line is the 3650 can take quite a bit of punishment, and keep on going.
