What are limits of the stock transfer gears? I'm second guessing spending the money putting them in or just leave them stock for now. 2.4 on an fp green, 2g head and evo 3 intake. Makes a decent amount of tourqe

If you want to launch the car hard you need them. I don’t care what anyone says , you make one mistake leaving wrong and you can kiss your trans goodbye.

It used to be a thing, 400 ish hp and u really just needed to upgrade 4th gear.
You may get a summer out of it, or break on the first launch.
Maybe spending the money now will save u a headache.
 
It really comes down to how to manage the power off the line, when you are on the brakes and trying to build enough boost to launch. As a rule of thumb, if decent brakes can't hold the car on the line, you are making too much torque for the factory transfer gears to last.

Personally, we've seen fewer issues with the transfer gear teeth in the 1.3 60' range when the car was managed well off the line than when a bunch of rpm was thrown at it in the 1.5 maybe 1.4 range
 
thank you for the information guys. I'm going to wait until my 5 speed grenades its self then do the swap.
