Yeah but the gtm stage 1.5 or 2 kit makes 50hp more than that, and the vhr should take closer to 550 s/c or more safely because the torque comes on more even. As for the tranny you cant compare the 6 speed to the old z32 5 speed. The gearset in our trans is huge like 50% bigger than a mkiv supra tt tranny huge. There is a reason the thing weighs as much as it does. I've only heard of two non synchro related failures on the new 6 speed and both were near or over 700whp, and I know there are cars running even more than that.

Edit: Also both failures were input shafts breaking off near the pilot bushing so the could have been related to the clutch.
