Busted my car a few weeks ago at PIR. Broke the halfshaft on my newly installed 03 IRS rear end. Had Paul at KK put stage 2 cryogenic halfshafts in. After they were installed found out that i broke the shift fork in my t45. Talk about a bad launch. Had to fight extended warranty battle to get Tranny replaced. Warranty wont cover my car to heavily modified. Bottom line stepping up to a Motorsport M7003r58h tranny. But gonna have to shell out more $$$. Hope to be back on my quest for 11s soon....

Good luck with the tranny! Just make sure you get a clutch that's going to hold the power.
I am running a spec stage 2 and went out to pir on slicks last night, and was getting a nice burning clutch smell at the end of each run. It sucks to have your newer clutch slipping so soon.
I ended up pulling my best 60ft of a 1.58, but the clutch wasn't allowing me to get my best time beat.

Isn't the Ford M7003-R58 a Tremec 3550? Now that the 03/04 Cobra has been out for awhile, perhaps you could pick up a T-56 fairly cheap.
