Default 600+ HP stroker guys. ???

what have you guys done to upgrade everything that needs to be done, in order to drive the car without it leaving you on the side of the road?

Im asking, because im buying a 99 6-speed coupe. It has a 413 c.i. motor in it, and still has stock trans, diff and Torque tube. Any help would be great.

Built rear end, hardened tranny output shaft, DTE tranny brace, aluminum plate replacing the flemsy stock one under driveline, and a twin disk clutch. Waiting to see what breaks next.

If you dont beat on it, youre fine. Im near 700rwhp on stock tranny, diff, and torque tube, and I run sticky tires and track the car (not drag, though). Only driveline mod is clutch/flywheel.

If youre going to put DRs on it and drag race it, you'll break everything sooner or later. Even the built stuff has issues from time to time.
