How much HP can a 97GS Transmission take safely?

[ANARKY]

I'm ordering a crate engine soon from Howell and I'm gonna tell them when there building it to build it ready for a turbo so it wont slowly kill my engine down the road. What I wanna know is how much horsepower can my transmission take without abusing the piss out of it?

 

[GSGoinFast]

I believe they can handle up to 500hp, but correct me if im wrong

 

[ANARKY]

Wow.....I didn't think a GS transmission went that high..Thats impressive. I only plan on bring her up to 300 max.

500 i read

 

[SilverEclipseT]

I agree about 500...


the clutch on the other hand.....

i dont know where ya'll heard 500. cuz ive heard stories about adding 100 hp and they blow. and its not just one person, im talkin about 4 or 5

 

[GSGoinFast]

Ive never heard of such a thing. ive heard numerous things that our trannys can hold 500, and i think might be stronger than the GS-T's, but dont hold me to that or flame me if im wrong

You may be thinking about the GS-T tranny on that one. The GS & RS tranny is much stronger.

that doesnt make much sense, why would rs's and gs's have better tranny's if they're a lesser model. shouldnt the car with the more horsepower and the better model have the more capable tranny?

Thats the downfall of the 4g63 weak tranny and crankwalk good motor though.
