A10 Transmission Upgreade

My Transmission is failing after 45k, the new motor is too much for it.
What are you higher horsepower guys doing to make the 10L90 live over 1200 hp?

TH400 swap or rebuild the A10 frequently depending on usage.

Is Midnight Performance only Ford for the 10-speeds? LMP mentioned they started rebuilding, in-house, and will only build if they tune it or something. Tim King is someone else I have heard of.

I've not had any experience with any of these guys (but have heard good things about them), and, also, don't know if they build the tranny to 1200 behind the butth0l3 or wheel.

Depending on where you are in Indiana and if you're wanting to stay local. Ethan Patterson of WP Developments has been building 10r80's for a little while. The major components are identical inside.

No he runs a pure drivetrain solutions build

Pure, midnight, along with Fisher built all have high hp setups out there. How long there living, I can't really comment on.

My bad. Thanks for the correction! Whatever he's doing it seems to be working (for some period of time, anyway)

No, he has the quickest boost only ZL1 in the country still using the 10L90. If he had swapped to a TH400, he would likely already be in the 7's.

Yes and he has had to rebuild the A10 several times to get there. He has even said it multiple times that it's not a easy feat to go that fast with the A10. They don't like power levels above 1100+ whp. I don't know if it's tuning support, mechanical limits, or both. Hopefully he will see this thread and chime in. I know many have went right to the TH400 vs rebuilding a A10 every few track outings.

Yea, he has a goal to run 7s with the 10L90 so it's been tough. For his purpose and he would certainly agree that a TH400 is the better way to go and I think if he ever hits 7s with the 10L90, he will likely go that route. I can appreciate what he's doing though because it helps develop parts for the 10L90 to take it as farther than most people will ever want to go.
