So like every DSMer at one point or another, i wanted to build a million hp car and daily it. Then i got a dsmtuners account years ago and slowly read as much as i could on doing this, and like most, ive kind of changed my mind,
So after selling it, and buying back my Talon twice, I recently decided to gut it out, and make it a 5% street car and 95% track car. As such, im trying to gauge the best method to build the car. Its currently got an old school journal bearing FP green on it. Ive always wanted to build a stroker, but after reading about the guy making 600awhp that was grenading Shep stage 4s with ease, i became leary. Truth be told, id love to hit 500hp, but considering this car isnt going to be just a drag car (id like to still autocross and maybe even track it some day) that's probably a pipe dream. I will shoot for a solid 450 though, which brings me to the meat of this.
Will a well built tranny hold up to that kind of power without blowing all the time on a stroker? And if so, whos still building them that I should consider? Boostin is only 3hrs away and id imagine they built their trans for the Demon but for all i know its a Shep in there. Since Shep and Jacks are out of the game, whos the go to these days?
Ive bought a stroker crank and a 98 split thrust block years ago, and id hate for it to have been a waste, but now that its go time, it's better to find out now than after i get the motor configuration (2.0 or 2.3L) done.
Thanks in advance.
