400+ hp daily driven? Options

[Arturio55]

Has anyone here daily driven a 3sgte swapped celi with an s54 tranny that was 400hp or more?
Swapping very soon and im gonna build it up next year...this is my only car so just want to know my limits.
Personal experiences only, not "well I read on alltrac.net ......"
although direct links to other websites about this topic will be acceptable.
im gonna have stock internals, MAYBE the street brawler turbo kit from KO in the future, if i cant reach my goal with the ct20b

Try starting out with the stock 250hp or so, then go up from there in small increments so that way you find out your limits and minimize the risk of something happening.

Dont wanna keep adjusting things and hitting a dyno over and over again. I want to build it, and just boost off into the sunset at 400 hp. I want to scare the hell out my passengers

Daily driving any vehicle with that much power will probably give you problems at one point or another, You just have to be prepared to be out a car for a short period of time.

Driving any car, with power or not, will give you problems sooner or later. But cars are meant to be driven. I mean, really whats the difference between 250 and 400. I should be fine

Azncelica has 433 whp. I don't know if it's daily driven but he abused it and the trans held up until his most recent track day.

Gonna check out his profile. I wont be abusing it at all, other than the occasional 3rd gear highway pulls. I do want to be able to go from a roll to 30mph damn near instantly tho, so that city driving is fun
