This is why I question modding my car. I mean how much power can these trannys take? Willwren is */C'd so he even has an HD transaxle, I do not. I think 250 ftlb. of torque would probably be the most mine can take.

About the tranny, its gotta die sometime, mine has made it to 162k and its starting to show its age. Its more of a luck thing than anything else.
This one is going by the book. I've got a good scantool, the factory service manuals, and a personal tranny expert (jr's3800
). I should know more by the end of the weekend.
