    Anyone on here upgraded their cams/turbo on an MR?

    Just like the title says. I talked my tuner and he said he can do it, but id like to hear from some one who has actually done it and owns one. I basically want to know if their trans has had any issues and also what turbo/cam set up they went with. Im looking at the MHI tf06 but im not sure yet. Any input helps, Thanks.

    I have cams (ams tmp) but just stock turbo. however i also upgraded my trans at the same time. haven't had a single issue trans wise since i got it and the cams done. honestly I wouldn't chance it, i would do an upgraded clutchpack before a turbo. on another note, I do plan on upgrading the turbo. I've heard AMAZING things about the BW EFR turbos and that's definitely what i'm looking at.

    I'd stay under 420ish HP and 370ish tq. on a Mustang Dyno unless you plan on upgrading clutch packs inside the SST.
