wow that is great news and good to hear...i agree that paying 2000+ fora potential 32
hp or so increase would be well worth the money...hell im looking at that much for the
3.0 to get an extra 30 hp so its about the same....
Ahh, well no - the Level 10 mods will not give 3L power gains. They do a nice job on ATX trannys for sure but I think 10-12% loss is a bit overstated. It is almost unheard of for an ATX to be more efficient that a MTX which are no more than 13-17% inefficient (about 15%). I would believe you could approach (best caes senerio) 15-17% from the stock Contour ATX 22-25% or maybe +14-16 HP @ the wheels assuming you were making 200 crank HP. Not a bad bonus in addition to better shifting & durability but not 3L power gains.
