Default T-5 back in!

Well, you guys were right...I recently installed a PA C4 auto with all of the works, 3500 TCI stall etc. How boring was that! When driving the streets the stick was a blast, when at the drags the C4 was a sure thing. But as most I use the car on the streets. So, by the end of the day the job will be complete and ready for the long holiday weekend. Also, I had the trans redone with all new up graded parts to handle 500 HP....

Pro, I guarantee this PA C4 I just pulled out is perfect, all rebuilt with http://www.redrider.us/ford_c6_parts.htm Have a brand new 3500 TCI street fighter, Hurst 1/4 stick, New B&M trans cooler, which I did not need to install, 164 tooth sfi flex plate, yada yada...So, what I will end up doing is selling everything as a package or parts? I have my own factory so I have 10 shipping docks and can ship anything any were.

I ran at the Great lakes "True Street" last month or so, running the C4 only 125 shot, 12 lbs of pressure in the rears,

1/4 Mile ET: 11.658
1/4 Mile MPH: 119.390
1/8 Mile ET: 7.513
1/8 Mile MPH: 94.650
0-60 Foot ET: 1.710
Temperature F: 88.0

Then the tech politely asked me to discontinue due to having a vert. They asked me before I made the run is how fast? I answered, well...I don't know yet...LOL I went ***** out! I'm sure the T-5 would be 12.50 to 13.00

What parts did you use to allow it to handle the ~500 hp?
