how high whp/tq numbers can you run before you have to worry about messing up trans? I'll prolly do the puddymod rear end but I really don't have the money for a ppg trans.

 

pretty high, most of the guys with high hp are running stock trans w/puck style clutchs

 

Clutch is where it's at...

 

600whp, then you better start shopping.

Mine lived for years at ~550whp. Once we went over 600whp, that was all she wrote. Broke 2 second gears in a month, and it was halfway through the gear, so it had nothing to do with shock or clutch engagement. The gears just aren't strong enough at that point.

 

how much torque are you making? were you launching the cars when this broke? like you launched in 1st and after being in 2nd it broke? or this was a roll pull?

 

It was halfway through 2nd gear, just rolling into it. Once boost came up, it sheared the teeth off. Twice.

Torque numbers were around 420-450

Before, when it lasted, they were around 380 or so.

 

I was reading the thread about cryotreating or WPC on diffs but would this help our weak tranny problems... We need a puddymod tranny!!!

 

I don't plan on going over 450-500. would I be ok on that or is that pushing it

 

You wont have any issues. At least not power related issues. There is still failures associated with shock, clutch engagement, driver error, etc.

 

how high can go i to were i wont have to worry about shock
