I’m not sure how susceptible these trans are to any issues at these power levels prior to getting a Pure Drivetrain Solutions treatment. If you really plan to beat on it, I’d be wary of removing too much torque limiting but I’m sure a tuner familiar with this platform can address that if necessary in the tune.

Thanks mate, looking forward to the results. It’s minor in comparison to what you’re up to but as far as I’ll ever take this car. There is a guy up here that's willing to put some development time into tuning my car so we’ll see how that goes. Can’t find anyone in my area that does custom work on this power plant.

The car is running superbly. The whoot at the end is breaking the 1:50 mark running the slower Hankooks and only my 15th hot lap at this track all time total.

Enjoy the roar of the M8 with only secondary cats deleted. The shuddering you hear is the car sliding and the steering assembly taking a beating. I often get the chassis upset limp mode whilst pushing it hard. One day I’ll have a bit of a repair bill, but it’ll be worth it.
