Thread: conversion of a supercharger to a turbo

People that hate on these transmissions are just dumb noobs.

Us guys that actually race 500+whp cars dont blow up transmissions nearly as often as the internet says. Ive owned a few 500+ whp cars and as long as you are running slicks and putting the abuse into the clutches and not the hardparts, it will last pretty good.

As long as its built right, everybody was saying I was going to snap my 7/8ths chain and I pulled it this winter just to be safe after one season and 10 or so track passes on slicks it had not stretched at all

I ran on a stock trans in the low 11s, and turned the boost up 4psi and ran it on the street for years... Doesnt even need to be built.
