Lmk if you decide not to use it cause I'm looking for a V160 tranny

I'm so ready to get a different trans. I planned on doing the v160, but not if it can't take the high rpm abuse.

I spoke with with another shop that said they broke 3 of them as well. Its not looking good for those that want to rev deep into the 9k-10k range.

Do you kno if they were stock or built V160s? The ones built by Jacks Transmissions look pretty stout..

Even the ones by Jacks will break. Stock or not, the V160 can't take the high rpm/high hp beatings.

I am about to boost my s2k. From what I have read in this thread, s2k tranny WONT hold anything over 500whp?

Are you guys breaking them at the track??

What is the solution if I want to run more than 500whp?

I don't want to spend 10k and one day later I do a 40mph roll and break my tranny lol.
