on 15 psi I don't think I'll have a problem hitting 350whp..that's my goal..once I'll hit it, no more modification..costs too much for a poor guy like me

what are you doing about axles?
i only thought companies made them to handle 300hp i know that everyone believes that the stock wont handle that amount of hp

yeah it is 
but many have proven that the tranny can take a lot of beating..jeff abram had the stock tranny, so does rebel2k4 and many other that has a lot of power..
I'll slowly begin to build another one that will take a $hitload of abuse...with a lsd differential that is

nice:) make sure when you rebuild you have the custom 6th gear put in place:D
and the optional paddle shifters which you can turn off and on when you want to use the stick or the steering wheel

I don't think anyones asked this, but what compression ratio are you running. I assume you had to lower it cuz if not....BOOM! lol And if so how did you change it? Different heads? Thicker head gasket?
Posted: May 13th, 2005, 11:44 am
8.7 compression ratio...everthing lies in the pistons

All the pics are with no exhaust/down-pipe on the turbo...? It looks like its gonna be really close... Any pics of it installed, along with fenders or anything else...?

Man, that makes the hairs on my butt stand up....nice job.

You better wrap that Downpipe, unless you like your cap rotor and distributor well done.

yeah I'm making a heat shield for the disty and wrapping the exhaust
