35000 problem free miles on a Blueprint 383 in daughter 72 El Camino that’s done HotbRod power tour longhauls with it. Excellent inventory control means you’ll get it as promised. Really well built dyno results exceeding advertised. Good enough to encourage me to buy another for my 83 Mustang...

Nice fit. My build was 10 years ago with a tko600. Called TTI and they said it was the fit of the tremec, so we tried the shorties. Looking at American Powertrain pictures, from the top the TKX is much narrower than the 2 forward big square access panels on the TKO, probably allowing you to get...

Word of caution on exhaust selection. I found severity of angle plus length of the Tremec on a lowered Challenger left my long tube TTIs with only 2.5 inches of ground clearance at the flange. Mid car placement left it very vulnerable to speed bumps so I changed to TTI shorties. Even then the...

Had similar vacuum issues with our 72 chevelle and mounted a Black Bandit electric vacuum pump in the front fenderwell low behind the bumper. Noise isn't an issue since it's well away from the cabin and given engine/electric fan noise . Braking was way better during 5 days of driving 6 hrs/day...

If your car is lowered TTI shorties are a good fit ...no worries about speed bumps.

A late welcome to the site from Georgia. Just realized I have your lottery combination…408, tko600, full Hotchkis, wilwood 12.2” on all fours. Based the 408 on a roller 5.9 magnum and my builder dynoed it at 460hp and 540 tq. Great combination on 2 Hot Rod Power Tour longhauls.

using Dakota digital controller on 72 Challenger and 83 Capri to run dual Contour fans in each. 3 power tours , 6000 miles in extreme heat and traffic. Flawless with lots of setting options

the tilting tailshift also nets a downward tilt on the exhaust. If you use full length headers you'll lose a lot of ground clearance at the flange which on a lowered car creates havoc getting over speed bumps.

I bought the xv units and have been very satisfied using them over 2000 miled on each of several 7 day Power Tours. So the above guidance on Wesco is solid

I went from TTI full length to their shorties and am happy with improved ground clearance. Mine was complicated by the angle of my small block with the tko600 I installed. Started with only 2 1/2 ground clearance at the flange. Your gaining the flange depth plus one header tube.

Mitch as I posted on the other Borgeson threads replying to you, I had a Federal and changed to Saginaw when the federal failed. It was your post that alerted tome to federal limits. However maneuvering boregeson with fast arms at parking speeds and autox turns was like having failed power...

Great conversion. Smaller /lighter box. Modern car feel and turn ratio. Avoid using fast arm as it causes ratio to be too much for power steering pump at parking speeds and twisty roads.

The pusher could create more problems than it solves. I run a readily available/affordable $140 Ford contour dual fan with a Dakota controller. Contour comes with its own plastic shroud that’s easily modded for rad hose clearance. The central gap in the dual fan allows me clears the crank/water...

The original set up was a firm feel 3 box with their fast ratio pitman arm running Hotchkis control arm kit and Federal Pump. Something broke in the Firm Feel box so I upgraded to the more modern/smaller Borgeson keeping the Firm Feel Fast pitman and Federal pump Had difficulty with no power in...

I’m very happy with mine. Has reliably handled twisties in Georgia mountains, allowing me to make best of 245/45/17 Michelins and Hotchkis/QA1 suspension. Warning…don’t use a fast pitman idler with it …only standard arm as pump can’t keep up.
