Voodoo w/TR-9070 DCT

With used DCTs starting to hit the parts markets, is this something worth pursuing? FPC noises with 100ms shifts. Building a Voodoo powered ‘33 FFR roadster and hung up on which transmission as I prefer not to shift a road car that’ll see only a couple track days per year.

I have only driven one in a Mustang once, but the new 10 speed automatic is pretty snappy, not like the slushboxes of old. I have one in my F150 and it is a really slick piece.
Automatics need shedloads of cooling if you're going to run them on track though. I'm guessing that's going to be a cheaper alternative to a DCT, especially for a road car.

I hated the 10S in my ‘18 F-150. 5.0L with 3.73s.

From what I understand they just started to crack the TCU for the DCT in the GT500 so that should be a possibility. I as well would love DCT reponse paired with Voodoo noises, but the pockets and free time aren't plentiful enough for me to be the guinea pig here.

I already have a Gen2 Voodoo. I figured a guy could re-work the GT500 engine harness from CPC to FPC firing order and injectors. Tune out the SCr and trim the excess wiring until a standalone becomes available. Of course, I am sure there is far more to it, but that was my thinking process so far.

HTG Standalone GCU could be worth exploring. They support BMW (Getrag) DCTs and they do say they will support a variety of transmissions. It seems likely the Tremec inputs are reasonably to another dual clutch trans.

Mine's a '23 Super Crew with the 2.7 twin turbo V6. 10 speed gearbox works really good with it. I was pulling my '16 Mustang track car on a 25' tandem trailer with it, the thing never broke a sweat pulling that load. It's got the tow package so there's a trans temp gauge, it never went above normal even when towing on hot summer days. I've had a pile of trucks and this one is by far the best I've had yet, that turbo motor makes a ton of torque. It gets the same mileage on the street as my Mustang does. Not sure if that's a good thing or not....
