Tremec is sort of laying a trap for the distributor with that type of add.

I receive 2 different Mustang mags monthly and I too have seen the add. I agree, I have never seen a car on street tires pull the front wheels. What I do not know is if the TKO has been "race" prepped. I do not work for Tremec and cannot say one way or another.
I do know that we have a "partner" in Florida, Promotion Performance Products, that does race prep TKO's with great success. Their "tranny's" hold several NMRA records using Mustangs and TKO's and are running 8.xx 1/4 mile times and pulling wheel stands too. They also are shifting at well over 7000rpm. We also offer that option to potential customers once thier intentions are made known to us.
Look, Like I stated, Keisler has been in business since 1999. We are not in the business to decieve, mis-lead or mis-represent the capabilities of the TKO or our kit. We wouldn't have lasted this long if that was our practice. While I cannot give numbers, we continue to sell and have satisified customers world wide. I spend countless hours on the forums offering technical advice to anyone I can help. Until the original Fordfan thread started here, I didn't even know this forum existed. I am not one to jump on a thread and start bashing guys for their opinion. That's one of the reasons I have stayed away from this thread for the first 4 pages. It wasn't until I couldn't take the "clouded" and false assumptions, that I felt the need to post and try and set the facts straight.
I realize I opened us up to flaming and re-hashing what was already said I just hope everyone involved and reading can think about this logically and not fall prey to the ones mis-leading this thread.
A Tremec TKO is a Tremec TKO no matter where you buy it. They have several distributors nationwide and we all sell the same tranny. The main difference is the way the shift position is achieved. That is the only part of the TKO that we modify. The rest of our kits have been engineered by degreed engineers to fit each particular application with minimal(none in a lot of cases) modifications to the car.
