I agree with you ATX situation. for street driving, a MTX is great....but for more consistant times at the track, a ATX is always reconmned. Honestly, if my SVT was being built a purely a drag car for for drag comps, and i had the power,I would opt for putting a ATX level 10 (for starters) for more consistant times.


But since im doing Auto x and road corse events, MTX is well more suted for control of speed and RPMs for me...


Over all i second the ATX for drag cars.

One problem.... we will most likely not get there with the CD4E. That is unless something happens in the near future. Ford just signed back on for the CD4E to be made until 2010, so something has to be up their sleeve!

One point was made awhile back by bnoon, I think, that an F/I ATX would be really nice since there would be no lose of boost between shifts.

*NOTE* The CD4E is limited to 200 ftlbs of torque *NOTE*

Hince the whole problem to our situation.
