I wouldnt run an aftermarket dp without some form of EM. I dont think you'll blow a cylinder. Most power we make is all in the EM tuning so there's no real plus. Just save up, it'll be worth it.

Add the 'slash'QUOTE to the end of ur convos guys! Ur making me look bad!

In a bug eye you'll probably blow 1/2 from launching. There's no real HP/TQ value on any of our trannys for when they'll blow. It's all about how much 'shock' you're putting on it. Hit up Unabomber's Transmission FAQ on nasioc for more info.

Treat your tranny very well, dont pop the clutch and dump all the shock load on your gears. Better off sliping your clutch more then poping it out.

Clutch is much cheaper to replace than a gear set. I found that out the first time i blew my clutch out, then I went with a slightly better gear-set, and still got rid of my stock oem transmission since it was in perfect working order

Gotta pay to play!!!

Well I thought i messed it up because I went to the Nascar race a few weeks ago, and sittin in traffic on a steep gravel hill, the clutch got hott and started smokin out the hood scoop. And then started to chatter like i warped the flywheel.
All the FWD Cars were strugglin to not roll back into anyone not havin any traction on the gravel.

But after everything cooled down the chatter went away and stuff. But I know its gotta nice hott spot and its prolly glazed as well.

SO a clutch is in the books for me soon. Prolly just go with something simple like a ACT Street Clutch Kit.

But before that incident I had no problems at all

I like how a "meetings & events" thread turns into a clutch/transmission thread.
