ORIGINAL: tbirdscwd

The rear should be fine until you are running slicks or DRs with a lot of HP. With street tires it can hadle most anything within reason. I haven't heard of too many transmissions failing till past 500 unless your beating the **** out of it all the time. Of course there is always the odd man out that snaps an axle on street tires with stock everything, or the guy who's tranny grenades with the help from just an aftermarket clutch.
lol.. and I would be that odd ball.. The stock 3650 I had in my Mach grenaded going down 264 in VA beach.. then I had to sit there for two hrs in the middle of rush hr traffic waiting for a friggin tow truck.. LOL talk about embarassing.. Though I think the guy that had it before me beat the sh** out of it while he had it.. I didn't really drive it hard all that often when it was bone stock..
