Which will go first????
Just wondering what the experts thoughts are on this. 
What will go first???
My trans?
My fuel system?
My motor?
I'm making 668 whp on the TTs at 18psi right now. I've seen 724whp on 22psi but I don't want to push to hard to quick. I just rebuilt this *****.
All three parts are stock. I'm just wondering which I should upgrade first.

Transmission and drive line. Build it to hold the power you want to produce. THEN build the fuel system that'll satisfy the demand. Then build the engine to make it all happen. If you don't do it in that order, I can see it being more expensive in the long run...

You bringing 4th of July early this year ha
With that kinda of power I would say the motors going to pop only a matter of time. Take my 2014 Shelby for example, i was pushing 800whp with boltons which was the line of max whp on the stock internals and I had a 100 shot on top of it, so making around 900whp. I was told only a matter of time before it granades and guess what happened after a few sprays BOOM... if I could go back I would of listened to my buddy n built the motor. Anyway gl with what you decide, any plans to go to track anytime soon?

As you said, you can de-tune power (semi conservatively) to the wheels if you have a variable BC. Harden your powertrain! Congrats on the monster.

You have quite a history with these transmissions, so that will be my guess.
Unless, of course, you end up making so much torque that you end up turning the drive shaft into a pretzel like the E65 did.

Who has 796 lb-ft in a 320? You talking E320 CDI? I wanna know!I really want to try a twin turbo on my E55!
My vote is trans too ... it'll be fun finding out regardless.

Im just saying that just because it's a 722.6 doesn't mean it will automatically handle that power. It needs to be built internally to handle that power. It's just the platform of the Trans and it can be assembled with many different specs.

someone is actually ripping gears and such apart and blowing them up?

More commonly when the transmission decides to stop pulling completely there's 1 oneway roller clutch that fails commonly. And I've seen some planetaries blow apart.

I've seen numerous front pump failures from the inputshaft flexing under hard acceleration and taking out the bushings in the pump in turn causing lower pressures and then the obvious clutch failures from such.

I rebuild these and do performance Dodges all the time and really other than clutch failure from to low of pressure they are pretty tough up to around 1000whp or more where we have seen input shafts break and output shafts twist. I have seen a couple of one way rollers fail but I have never seen a planetary fail other than from a bearing coming apart and destroying it. Which is not a power issue and happens with stock transmissions as well as the pump failure.
When a transmission gives it up is dependent on a lot of things and it is not just power input. The entire setup has to be taken into account. Same with driveshafts. You can move the torque around in a driveline. Put better gears in the back and you move torque to the half axles. Go the other way and move it to the transmission and driveline. Put a big converter in and move it to the input shaft of the transmission and back. Decrease weight and lower it all the way around.

Where are you seeing these things?
