What's the capacity of the center diffy/axles/5 speed of a GSX? If I were to put an EVO 3 16G and push it anywhere near it's capacity of about 380 crank hp, is that any way in danger of snapping axles, spider gears or gears in the tranny? I don't want to do high RPM launches and stuff most people abuse their AWDs for, I just don't really care for street racing from light to light. I just don't want to be pushing along at 70mph on the interstate and feel the need to PUNCH it to pass a car or something and give everyone a show of sparks and metal flyin outta the underside of my car.
I could probably push my leg through a brick wall now. Anyways, I was figuring with only the 350 or so to the ground that the stock drivetrain parts would handle it no problem, assuming I wasn't doing 5k clutch dumps all day long. I don't like that. I just want to be cruising down the highway and nail it and take off. With the parts already spinning, just all of a sudden spinning a lot faster, I assume puts FAR less stress than if they're stationary and all of a sudden having to spin really fast or something. It does grind a little when going from 2nd to 3rd, maybe I should shift slower until I can get some shifter bushings and new tranny juice in.
