You'll be perfectly fine at those levels. Most cars up to 1000whp or so haven't touched their transmissions. The engine will break before the trans.

You will be fine up to 1200whp. That trans is strong. I would recommend getting a guards LSD though.

That's good news...
And at which rwhp I will need to upgrade/modify my engine?. Do I need to have forged stuff @ 700-750 rwhp?

Is the same for the 4wd turbo gearbox's as well or just the 2wd gt2 that can handle the uprated power?

Also both gt2 and tt is the torque a limit for them if so what power would you say?

thanks
