The 6R80 transmission can handle a lot of horsepower when properly built. We look at what it takes to build a 6R80 to handle 1,000+ horsepower.

Ford’s 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission is the go-to transmission for Coyote-swapped vehicles, and ATI Performance Products is offering upgraded versions capable of handling up to 1,000 horsepower. The company realized that the transmission could be used in applications other than the Blue Oval, and engineered a solution that allows for the transmission to be mounted behind your favorite small-block Chevy, LS, or LT engine. Whether you have a street rod in need of a better overdrive transmission or a 1,000-horsepower street car that you’re racing on the weekends, ATI, along with Raybestos and US Shift, have 6R80 transmission options for a range of power levels.

You’ll see all sorts of vehicles at drag-and-drive events, and Mark Snellman’s ride had most spectators at the 2024 Sick Week event stumped as to what it was. You had to be well-versed in the import world to know that it was a 1993 Mazda RX-7.

When it comes to late-model Mustangs, exhaust upgrades are often the first upgrades, and for good reason. Companies like BBK Performance offer great options to improve the engine performance as well as the audio and visual aesthetics of your car’s exhaust system. When it came time to upgrade the headers on this particular 2002 Mustang GT, we called on BBK Performance for quality-made, good-looking, and performing exhaust parts.

When it comes to multipurpose drag racing street cars, this Viper stands alone as a two-wheel-drive overachiever in a sea of all-wheel-drive exotics.

Since acquiring our Fox-body Mustang Ultra Street chassis, we’ve been hard at work getting it ready for the new drivetrain and upgrading it from stem to stern. In this installment, we’ll take a look at the completed small-block Ford engine, the turbocharging system we went with, the FuelTech ECU, and the fuel system.
