[tehehodi]

anyway...it looks pretty straight forward and all bolt on..so it'll be fun!

People have taken a completly stock 6bolt engine to 580whp +. I think you'd be fine keeping it stock for that power level.

But what's the stock tranny good for? I bet thats not 580whp..I'm getting my 2g tuned at DB on tuesday
and although the engine is completely built I don’t want to stress the transmission, not quite ready to get a shepp.

Some hold up if you shift nice, others break. Depends on how you drive it. Make sure you have a decent clutch and cross your fingers the tranny holds up. But, I would start saving up for built tranny if your concerned.

Depends on the year of the tranny and the torque you are making. Most commonly DSM trannys become unshiftable from worn syncros/gear or broken shift forks, but that has nothing to do with power, just how it was driven. 3rd/4th are weaker in 2G trannys.

But if you have all your parts it should only take a couple of days

Well the subframe is out, The gas tank is sorta out, just need to take out the fuel lines and a few connectors, SOMEONE called me home so i had to stop. It all took 4 beers to do, 2 of which were really working, the other 2 was celebration and a break. :) Called andrew, peter, swifty to see how to get off the ebrake cable but i figured it out eventually. Andrew was the only one that picked up anyway!hahaha anyway, here are some pics!
