    Mine still drives perfectly fine, and it has no input clutch seal left. What's your point there?

    How many people with turbos are having issues with their transmissions? Let's see...

    There's James, with the 600whp turbo regal that he's completely redesigning the input chain setup for...

    Tyler, who gave up after he broke everything multiple times...

    Red, who broke his engine with a turbo...

    BoostedPontiac, who broke a built block with a turbo...

    So much broken stuff, and it all happened with turbos installed. How many times do people get advised that they need a built trans for a turbo, because stock stuff breaks way to easily with a turbo. Even hard parts break with a turbo. You may be the exception to the rule somehow, but you are the only exception.

    Consider yourself lucky, stroke your ego and say it's because you "know how to not break stuff", say whatever you want. I guarantee if you actually pushed your car, ran the 1/4 mile as fast as the car can possibly go, it would break. But you won't push your car, because you know things will break and it's not worth replacing things constantly. That's your decision.

    I made the decision to NOT go turbo yet, because I always push the car as hard as it'll go. Because I feel like it. I know things will break, and I'm prepared for that. I know putting a turbo on a W-body will break things that aren't easy to fix, and expensive. I'm not going to spend that kind of money on something that won't reliably handle the abuse I will put it through.









    And I know ZZP sells them, I'm thinking of going through Dave though. And it might take a bit of figuring, but I'm sure I can tune the Trans to shift into 4th sooner. I'll figure it out when I get to that point. Lol

    Your point has no valid statement to this discussion.....

    Your comparing a max build effort with stock "parts" for what reason?

    Tyler, who gave up after he broke everything multiple times...
    When you abuse things, things break, there is nothing in the world that wont break no matter what amount you dump in it.

    Red, who broke his engine with a turbo...
    I dont know who this is


    BoostedPontiac, who broke a built block with a turbo...
    A spun bearing is hardly breaking a built block, also built block = factory

    You made the decision to "not" turbo and not even go boosted at all because as you state, your always broke. Broke people cant afford to mod a car properly, hence a penny chaser. You keep acting like this is a horrible weak car in stock form. You realize how many cars need forged internals @10psi AND a trans to go with it? The motor is dam near bullet proof and a trans that isnt beat the **** can take 100whp over stock and keep going. People cry because input shaft breaks so what, replace it and run 350 with a brain.

    You also posted so FEW of the actual heavily modded gp's, what about the sane 50 others, those cars are still going strong. You can break a fking gokart beating the hell out of it only a dumbass fool would do it to a car and then btch and complain when they cant afford to fix things then cry on a part out. You wont win honey I aint no millennial fool!
