This is awesome! By the way if you wish to fix the lazy shifts on the A650E transmission, definitely look in to an upgraded valve body and an external oil cooler. All of this will help the transmission hold up with the extra power + it's more content for us ;)

Yes, but the A760E should have the same boost valve assembly selection that would make it easy to select the "firm" shift setting without any valve body replacements. All they have to do is drop the pan and change the selection.

Nice job boys! PT the trick with spraying wrinkle paint is a bucket of hot water from the sink, submerge the spray can in with a weight on it for 15-20 min. Have your part prepped and ready go and with your heat gun in one hand and the properly shaken paint can in the other, bring your part up to temp with the heat gun and alternate back and forth laying down paint visually seeing the finished texture within a second to get an even finish. I did all of my charge pipes and a valve cover like this and they look like I got them back from the powdercoater.👍
