Ever wonder what 800ft/lbs of Torque does to a transmission?

Out of our newest car....soon to be a major magazine cover car and the Evo that competed in the Modified Tuner Shootout last weekend. We made just under 800awtq on this set up, which I can't divulge the details of until the magazines run. This however, is the result of a near 800awtq launch on drag radials....dead hooking. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting this up! Carnage pics are always awesome! Any videos of the "launch"...had to be some pretty impressive noises going on there!

Full built Shep trans with all the bells and whistles. Less than 30 dyno pulls and maybe 200 miles on it.

That hurts just looking at it...do you have any phots or videos of the car you can post and release without causing any issues with the magazine it will be appearing in?

I'm fairly sure Modified will have some video and pics of the nuclear bomb going off.

Insane...yes. We are simply going to have to launch it outside of peak torque and wave a voodoo doll around to attempt to make sure it doesn't happen again, but we are in development of something that should eliminate that problem all together. Stay tuned.

We have a ton of pics and such, but I don't want to **** off Modified mag or the other major mag you will see it on the cover of next month. I'll post a full spec and pic thread along with some videos after the magazines come out. I will say, it was done on a 62mm turbo....all boost, no nitrous.

Already stated it was a shep.

IMO to handle that kind or TQ you should be looking at a custom get set...etc

Crazy how much damage was caused...although not surprizing

Case flexing I think is the main issue. It's a street car, so a dog box is out of the question.
