Agreed. It was a favor of a favor for a favor. A wink wink type deal. And i agree, there are no aftermarket parts to beef up the A10. We have what we have and have to deal with it. That is why I'm not messing around with any dig hits anymore. 50 mph rolls and I'm safe. I need to order me some DR's now as I have these shit Nitto street tires. They can't hold anything over 800 hp. haha.


We plan on getting it back on the dyno. Running 116 again on the 10 rib and going full kill on the blower and wherever it lands is where it lands. Belmouth housing, no filter.

No, I don't wonder why. If anything, we eventually expected it to break. Was holding out hope is more like it that it would hold. haha. Honestly, I expected the engine to go b4 the trans.

Keep the little ones away from that bellmouth.
What size DR do you use? What rims? And what tire do you prefer?

Pretty sure the Mustangs 10 speeds are handling big power.

I had a 17" set of Weld Beadlocks with MT Street R's on it, but sold them. I'll just go back with 305/35/20 ET Street SS's. They hold enough on a roll so.

Yea, but their motors aren't. haha.


And I haven't really seen any builds over 1300 HP on the Mustang side with the A10 and it holding from a dig so. I know Aldo's build is around 1400 hp with the A10 and it's holding, but for how long? We shall see. That's one car I won't mess with on a roll. He's pulling out 8.8 in the 1/4. It's a crazy build.

Car is back on the dyno!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus.



Update. We went through 4 A10's to finally get it fixed. 4 months of down time. smh. But, whatever. It's finally fixed and back on the dyno for tuning.


Massive..............massive credit to my dealership. That's all I can say. All covered under warranty.

Haha, man, u ain't lying. How do you think I felt? But, I can't really say anything or get upset since they covered it under warranty. I just had to shake my head. They hit me with the ole bop bop 2 months ago when the first trans came in. They said it was fixed................well, they test drove it, paddle shift worked fine but Auto mode still was bad, sooooooooooooooo, they ordered another one, then another, and another one. blah blah blah. I don't give a rats ass anymore. Haha, Chevy finally sent us a good one.

The 1st 3 they sent were bad. No bueno. The 4th one was the charm.
