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 -------------------- QUOTE (Azncelica @ Mar 4, 2012 - 11:43 PM)  I started with what I know to do, I swap engine into my car, I knew it was too much work to make it a AWD. I kept it FWD. Went to take a crack at doing the wiring conversion. Than, I realize, shoot, this is out of my league. |

Two years of research is a lot different than two years of experience. I speak from experience, and some of the others responding to you on this thread do as well. We are only trying to help, and set you in a safe direction for YOU, your CAR, and your POCKET. We would hate to see your dreams of 400hp daily driven go up in flames because you didn't accept valid advice, and damaged the engine beyond repair or overhaul for your forged internals. There wouldn't be accepted methods for your horsepower goals if nobody had failed at it in the past. Some of your comments to other members in this thread may be viewed as snide or know-it-all-like. One day you might need our help again, and your cries for help may fall on deaf ears.
