yeah, tremec uses this red non hardening goop.
I was told told buy the guy that bought it that the guy he bought it from wanted to spray his stang with a 250 shot and did not want to break his 3550 so he sold it to buy a tko 600. the box this came in was a box for a tko 600 so the story lines up but you never really know till you put some power to it.:mullet::burnout:

You might want to think about a scatter shield with how much power you have.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
