How much HP something will handle is always just a guessing game there are just to many variables , Rear ratio, weight of car,stall, tire type and sized, wether its sprayed and how. HP numbers like we have on our site are just general guide lines and are actually decided on a case by case basis at actual time of order. Then of course knowing who did the trans and when and how many miles is again a variable.
I will say we have quite a few guys running alot more HP than you show in your sig in the levels 1-2-3. In many varying applications as do the other vendors here. But calling something a level 1-2-3-4-5 is meaningless without knowing who built it.

Feel free to give us a call when the time comes. I think you should be looking at one of our level 4 builds for what you currently have. With the NOS, depending on how much, a level 5 would be a wise choice. We do offer billet input and output shafts if you want to build the strongest we offer. Give us a call. Vince
