Working on an 8HP behind my twin turbo Coyote in a '65 Mustang. Appreciate your videos, they've helped with some insight/details. :)

Only the ogs know about the 300zx I remember helping my friend build his 300ZX when we were in high school and it was his dream car and man that thing was a f*<b>***</b> beast the twin turbo setup on a 300zx is literally the same 2jz from the supra

I remember a few years back when I suggested DCT or 8hp and you responded with neverrrrrr 😂

Got a 2017 rs7 with a zf it’s unlike any other auto car I have driven. So smooth until you are really in it and then it gets crisp. And then I found out about launch mode. It was banging our heads off the head rest unbelievable. I can’t wait to swap one of my older rides.

Listened to the whole thing. Almost done my swap on an aristo! Can't wait to join the club brother. Great advice on pedal control

Very impressive drive. The box looks incredible, you confirmed the deal for me

That’s awesome, have been looking at the 8HP70 for a while now but not computer savvy looks like I’m going to have to learn pretty cool sir.

Great vid! My buddy who is heavily mopar oriented in cars, is pushing me to swap this trans behind my 302 that's stroked out to a 347 for offroad purposes. With our trail runs some times you need to take the highway from trail to trail. He basically said you will be hating life on the highway with 35"s behind a three speed, with 5.29's for the ring and pinion. which I believe at this point. The Tcm sounds great vs older designs, for offroad use when in the sandy washes, the trans just gear hunts and all that does is just build a ton of heat. Something I can control is waaaay more ideal. My 04 4r70 equipped offroad truck is annoying in that aspect. I can only imagine how much worse it would be with a c6 (3 speed auto)

I’ve got some miles down on my 8hp 2j car and it’s awesome. Dialing in the torque calc and toque reduction make it smooth as butter and faster than you can imagine.

I am working on a Mercedes w126 with a Godzilla 7.3 and it will get the same trans, I can’t wait!
