A reliable, affordable, FI build? Maybe...

This is an ACT HD pressure plate with a 6 puck sprung clutch left over from an old build. We don't plan on beating on it at 500 hp, stock axles, trans, and diff will be very short lived at those HP levels and sticky tires. We're going to mostly run it in the 300's, which is hard enough already for the stock stuff. We may go the cd009 route if needed, but right now we'll see how we do at the 300's.

One thing I did fail to note in the prior post is that this is all with a 2.5" exhaust. We specifically ordered that way to keep costs, weight, and noise down. Aside from a couple hundred RPM of loss of spool, the smaller pipes made no issue getting to 500.

Awesome, that makes sense. Yeah I'm worried about what will give out first on my car. I'm leaving stock axles in the car to hope they give before gears do. I'm planning on about 300wtq. With a smaller turbo and stock exhaust I was making 250wtq before, I don't think many people realize that the larger piping just makes thing easier, not impossible.

Awesome!
