This one more aggressive than the last and this one is aluminum which is lighter so hoping for low 11s NA and mid 10s on spray

Yeah I think I might have turned crazy spending that much on a aluminum block. I just said **** it and pushed purchase button.

Gotta ask, How heavy was it to push that purchase button? How deep did the pocket have to get?

My finger felt like there was a 100lb dumbbell on it. I couldn’t stop from pushing it lol

The pocket for the bare block was 4000 ft deep

Wait so for more horsepower you would need a different trans? You can't upgrade the stock to handle more power? So for example of you have a 410 stroker with 9psi of boost what trans would you use?

Thus far no one seems to be able to make one to handle the power increase and survive long term, even just for street use...mine isn't all that modified and I'm on my third in 150,000+ miles...

How much power will your engine put out? A ZF-8HP90 will take 664 lb-ft of input torque and, obviously, is an 8 speed. Good gas mileage and gear length, amIrite? And, you can also get one with paddle shifters as well as one that has a built in torsen transfer case for 4wd/awd.

Some tuning work, a couple of mods, and I'll bet you could get that **** to run like a GTR.

That's what I'm shooting for with my build, anyway. Maybe find some place that can re-gear it and make it even stronger, too.

Pretty sure no one (outside the factory) has figured out how retrofit one. The ZF's have their computer built into the case, making it more difficult to integrate it into a preexisting platform. Hell, even makes it difficult to swap across platforms. Case in point: a Canadian dealership figured how to successfully swap a hellcat engine into a modern Ram. Downside? They couldn't swap the 90, and had to use the truck's existing 8HP70 and t-case. Couple good romps may be all it takes lol...

Rip it out and do a custom computer? Reprogram? Connection adapter? A mix of the above?

Something HAS to work. I simply can't stand for a sub 6 speed in a truck that's gonna be daily driven and possibly road coursed.

Well ****, kind of killed my vibe. I was planning a hemi swap and to so some heavy mods to it over time of course but I don't like the sound of always having a tans crap out at some point in time. What's the best one you have heard work so far for heavily modded hemi's? I guess ones that last the longest
