MTX-75 <----- WEAK!
It's stronger then HD axles... 
Only when the diff is upgraded. Then come the axles... After that, it's shear the ring/pinion time... not to mention all of the syncro troubles.
IMHO, I would put a tranny cooler, converter, and some line pressure increases in that Taurus and call it a day.

I would think you'd lose first gear long before you lunched that beefy ring gear.
The upgraded syncros are decent but yes not spectacular if you are using them with a fast revving engine and a lightened flywheel.
Original syncro revisions. 
I agree on the slushbox mods...
I would also have quicker T/C lockup added to the chip when you where in there changing line pressure and of course the shift points.

Was it Mumms or Capaldi that was stripping gears once they had the diff and axels upgraded? Anyway, if you stick with the ATX then you are going to want a torque converter that has an anti-ballooning plate or it will fail in no time.

makes me wonder if my TC was failing because of the no-name company that modded it for a higher stall, or jsut because of the anti-ballooning plate??

M'eh, you honestly get what you pay for. Higher stall speed means more heat. What features did it have compared to Level 10?
The anti-ballooning plate is for use when you will use nitrous for the most part. Auto's don't like the kick of extra power they aren't used to seeing all the time.

just the higher stall speed.
i went with them because they were half the price of level 10
instead of getting a new converter i swapped to a mtx
