I come from the supra world where the V160 was pretty much bullet proof and took everything you threw at it. I'm now getting into a 370Z with a manual transmission and eventually going forced induction. I've searched the forums but can't seem to find the answers. I know which clutch to order so that isn't the problem but rather how much power can one put through the stock transmission without it blowing up? 500whp? 600whp? I know a lot of it is based on how you drive and what you do with the car. This car will strictly be a street car and not a quarter mile drag car. Any help would be great.
