and this thread just died? nooooooooooo. these engines can be rebuilt to support more than 800 WHP don't even argue with me on that. I'm sure the dogbox is what people usually use. I'll have to research why fensport thinks that it cannot handle daily driven duties.

the stock E154-F isn't really that strong... it depends how you drive it, and if your using a launch controller than ya that trans is goingto get raped, first the rear diff will start to warp then the fluid in the tranny will burn and there goes your trans.
if you want to end this post do your research, get a damn bias rear diff out of any of the caldina's and grab the awd trans out of it as well
you cant say a trans can hold X power, its all about how you drive, my 5s-gte is only sitting @ 20psi on an E153 and i've already destroyed first gear prior to using my EMS's onboard launch control and im NOT that wild of a driver. (445whp)

i think tufy had a special gear set installed i'm sure i read that somewhere. im not sure but i think he ended up using the dogbox eventually. I wish I had more information on what the outcome really was.
