Congrats on the new whip. I keep seeing on svtp them 5.4 don’t like big HP on the stock rods. I’d do what mike says and do the Ford blower to keep her together.
Thanks man! Hey, if you run across any svtp threads talking about issues with high HP please post them here! In my limited research since purchasing, I've been seeing 800rwhp is about your safe max on E85 and proper supporting mods. This would drastically change the blower route I go if they truly can't support that much power.

Well, she's as ready as can be for the hat race! Sorry in advance for the terrible lighting and picture taking, I swear I'll get some good ones one of these days! lol

First off, I want to thank Rodger SRT41320 SRT41320 @ RAM Automotive for hooking me up with the tires so quickly!

Secondly want to thank Drew 01bluesnake 01bluesnake @ D Mark Performance for installing some sweet BMR upper and lower adjustable control arms!

Time will tell if these will help her hook at the track!

What was wrong with it ? Didn’t u just buy the car?
Long story short, literally every gear is fucked...car seemed perfect after I bought it then I started noticing it grinding into second and reverse a few weeks after I bought it... didn't seem to bad... before I had the clutch installed I figured I'd just have them open it up to check it out because I have an aftermarket warranty, opened it up and they said they've never seen a transmission with as low miles as my car had so beat to shit...it was so bad the warranty company denied my claim due to the previous owners negligence...not very happy about this situation but in the end hopefully the RPM Transmission will be the right alternative...still trying to fight with the dealer I purchased from to cover half the cost.

That moment they denied your claim u should have spoken to the GM and gotten a full refund on the extended if the warranty is worthless. U should have bought a ford esp they would have covered it no problem.

How many miles on your gt500 ? I remember I was about to buy a 13 gt500 at Naperville vw for 43k and after we negotiated and after going on a test drive the clutch was burned. Walked away from that one real quick figured they car was beat to death
Believe it was 28k miles when I bought it...quickly put 4k on it driving it every where possible lol it's a 2012, bought it in Gurnee at Blackhawk Motors, small dealer.

They credited me $800 for the "inconvenience" and I am still trying to push up the ladder but seem to have hit a brick wall...if I don't hear back from the last manager I talked to by the end of the week I'm cancelling for a refund. I honestly didn't think a Ford ESP would cover a car this old.

This would pair well with your set up, this is the ice box I was running, dump a 20lb bag of ice in there and you can feel the difference in the way the car performs
