Re: Project Crossfire - a Rotrex Supercharged Limited!
No sirree!
NA = NAG1 W5A330 - Constant Torque Rating - 330 NM = 243 ft/lbs
SRT = NAG1 W5A580 - Constant Torque Rating - 580 NM = 428 ft/lbs
= one hell of a difference in practice or theory!
This is why the SRT guys can add as much power as they do along with traction and you don't see their tranny's failing left and right.
It is why I originally went with the blue top solenoids to help save my tranny until I could afford a swap. If you recall, ChuckNorris blew his with less power than I intend to make. The NA tranny is rated barely above what our motor makes stock! I'm convinced the tranny is the weakest link in the NA drive-train and will go way before the NA's forged internals.
In fact, if I had stayed with the NA tranny, I was going to add a temp gauge at the bare minimum to help it live longer. High tranny fluid temp is a KILLER and must be kept under control. This is going to be very important for anyone adding significant power to the W5A330.
