For what it's worth, Continental bought out Goodyear products and it's now branded as Continental Conti-Tech. Same production lines just new branding.

I heard that the newer Qs have an updated 7 speed that can take more power. As for the belts, I heard something about soaking them in 303 auto protectant and they will last much longer.

Same 7 speed, more coolers.

The JATCO is rated for 300ft lb tq before stuff starts breaking. The additional coolers (2 instead of one) are what's keeping that transmission alive. Also, gears 1-4 can take an absolute BEATING. It's 5-7 you have to worry about...

I'll add, for our 7AT, a single cooler will do wonders in prolonging FI (and NA) life. Add Exedy clutch set ($500) FI flex plate ($900) and a Setrab 25 row cooler ($300) and you can stalk 700whp if you desire.

I'm assuming you mean add a second cooler. There is a heat exchanger integral with the radiator.

Yes, should've clarified. You can either beef up to a modified Setrab; or run a Setrab and the stock unit. Just starts to get a bit cramped with both...


Actually, 25 row would probably be fine for a mild FI build with a DD at about 500WHP and 350-400 ft. lb tq. anything more than that would require the 30+ row and other mods I mentioned...possibly clutch packs.

Haven't heard of an issue.

AMS's 10 second Q60 is on stock trans.

I am toying with the idea of adding a second exchanger in series with the rad. Haven't look in the nose to see how much room exists.

AMS upgraded the heat exchanger. Also, did they start with a Q60 RS400 or Silver sport?

I've been reading a lot in regards to it and 370 guys highly recommend it; even for NA builds. As someone who tracks their G, definitely something to look into.

The 7AT needs all the help it can get on the track. For the first half of the first run it works well. Then, not so much. For the rest of the day.

I think a cooler will be more than enough to help you out. From what I had read, guys running forced induction@ 400 ft. lb. tq. can at least buy time with a 25 row cooler.

Pretty straight forward install (I'd do a DIY kit with a Setrab core). Just need to make sure you get the right fittings. Apparently, Stillen was/is shipping kits with 3/8 fittings but guys had to switch to 5/16 due to leaks?

RSB Bushings
Today... I packed and replaced the frame bushings on my Eibach rear sway bar.

Needlessly, too. Turns out the old ones were totally fine.

Today I sorted out a few things on my sedan...

-Got my tire sensors activated...that light is so annoying
-Adjusted the rear coilovers up a half inch...no more saggy rear
-Installed OEM chin spoiler...I 'think' I'm going to like it
-Installed Diode Dynamics tail as turn modules...instant modernization
-Adjusted passenger front brake dust shield...no more rattle
-Took pics...
