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

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.

lessen wheel hope with custom made spherical bushings, or find the inner diameter and necessary measurements for the mcpherson control arms and source one from another vehicle that an aftermarket company made spherical bushings for, or install superstrut suspension

I was planning on getting poly bushings from that dude in poland.. and I already have coilovers so screw the super strut lol
although I do wish I went with my original plans to swap a beams in. Couldve gotten a front clip with lsd and superstrut for 1450 shipped but decided to go this route instead based on power goals and accessibility of parts. That damn beams is too rare
