Supposedly the auto was said to handle between 300-400hp. Really depends on how you drive and set the parameters for judging it, could be much less.

You want to use your torque number not hp for transmission breaking points. These clutches are rated in tq for that reason

Does SSP have any idea if they will make some automatic gear sets? Or is that so complicated that customers would be better off buying another trans all together...

Yup yup, but you can always derive it. I used hp for wiggle room and fudge factor but the quote may have been in torques. Just didn't want to take a strong position on it.

It's a possibility but I don't think anyone's there yet. We would probably commission PPG or someone to do it. There's minimums to make though and I don't think it's a feasible thing...yet!!!

Based on how this car makes power, if someone's making 400tq that means you'd be making 500hp range so until there's A LOT of cars making those kind of numbers, costly developments like gear sets won't really be happening.

No problem! Torque is what breaks things in general haha, especially rods which I know all to well

As for stage II, no official updates yet. They've been in production and testing for awhile, they were originally supposed to be launched with the Stage I but I haven't got an official, concrete date yet so we'll keep that as TBD for now
