Thanks God my engine and tune was built by JDM and not a GREEN HORN tuner which makes break in tunes that produce detonation at top end !!

I will have to send someone to JDM to bring me the new Monster Box tranny that is sitting there for 2 weeks and get it installed here in Philadelphia as i can't drive to there with 1st and 2nd gear only.(70 miles from home)
When all of this is finished then i will take the truck to JDM to install the new lower pulley and get another 150rwhp/250rwtq with a new street tune.

1) I don't have a money tree,
2) the transmission shop that i will use is especialized in Ford transmissions for 30 years and everytime i need them the owner is the one who works on my truck.
Thanks anyway.

The absolute void of mechanical background by most of the members here never fails to amaze me.
<><><><><><><> !!! ATTENTION !!! <><><><><><><><><>
If you don’t have any experience or knowledge on a topic, please don’t add your two cent for it shows how little you truly know.
Anyone who knows ANYTHING about a motor which was built for power would know that it can go full tilt from day one. Do you honestly think that Top Fuel, Pro Street or any other racing class actually “breaks in” their motors when they put them together? Let me answer this for you ….NO. They go together, warm up and instantly see 8000+RPM at full load.
If JDM did their job, Rafa should be fine.

That's funny.I think my total break in was 100 miles! Started it,let warm up,change the oil.Drive it at varying RPMs.never for long high rpms.After 100 miles change the oil and have been running the **** out of it ever since!

sorry to here about the tranny. I know Gregg stands behind his work but just remember. Don't you have to pay to have a new one put in each time it gos out? Not to mention the down time. You could be out having fun.
