The engine on my supercharged 07 Mustang GT makes around 570 horses on the flywheel but i'm worried about the transmission. It's automatic and is very weak under 570 horses and 600 lb-ft of torque. How can i prevent my transmission from braking apart???

I HAVE A 2006 SUPERCHARGED MUSTANG AUTO. LENTECH WAS WORKING ON A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION FOR 2005 UP MUSTANGS. FIRST TRY REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER--THERE IS NOTHING ELSE YOU CAN DO WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. YOU MAY WANT TO UPGRADE THE DRIVE SHAFT AND REAREND. MOSER MAKES ALOT OF REAREND UPGRADES. SWITCH TO A 9INCH OR BUY NEW AXLES AND WELD UP THE AXLE TUBES ONTO THE CENTERSECTION AND MAYBE NEW DIFFERENTIAL. LENTECHAUTOMATIC.COM

The auto trans in the 05+ Mustang is much weaker than the previous versions. The biggest issue is the torque converter. You are also going to want one of the deep trans pans that are hitting the market.
These trannys are not new, they have been around in the explorer for a while now. Talk to a trans shop about what they recommend doing too since any internal upgrades will probably be done by a shop.

Definitely beef up the transmission, your stock auto transmission will not last with 570 hp at the fly wheel. If you can afford it, why not put in a 6speed. Also beef up the suspension so that the tires are planted on the ground when you floor it.

You should have gone and purchased a Mustang GT500 then you wouldn't have to worry about the flywheel. That car comes standard with 550 bhp.

I would call TCI I just put one of their Streetfighter trans in my mark VII, Snotty transmission even after you get it adjusted...and real nice people to deal with. I'm sure they can give you what you need.
Your numbers sound a little fat but if you're running enough boost to make them, don't plan on that motor lasting very long

i own a shop and your going to need some up grades to it that's for sure,it will last a while,but it will have a short life unless you get a performance kit for it,and some heavier clutch packs and bands in it,they will let go ,and when they do they sound awful,id check in to doing a few up grades to it,jegs has some good performance parts for these that will hold up good,good luck with it,i hope this helps.

You could send it in to have it upgraded.
