I have read here that the 7at needs transmission upgrades to handle the torque, what about us MT guys tho? will we need any kind of transmission upgrades in order to run increased power through ALL gears? and what about a 4.08 final drive on a boosted car?

From all that I have read, MTs are fine.

i have the GTM built 7 AT with 4.08 gears on full N/A mods.
in the MM mode the car is way faster shifting and acelerates a lot quicker. still working on the uprev tune for the moter. I have the GTM stage 2 Sc and it going on this winter. z

We should have pricing and a press release early January.
Quote:
There are some other differences between the kits as well. The MHI kits use a pair of smaller intercoolers that keep the bumper beam intact as opposed to the much larger intercooler used in the Garrett kits that ultimately deletes the bumper beam. The philosophy behind the MHI based kit is different from the Garrett based kit. The Garrett based kit was designed with the idea of it being scalable from 500hp all the way up to 1300hp. As such, there were certain compromises that had to be made to give the system the headroom to accommodate such high power capability. The MHI kit is designed to be more of an entry level system with the idea that most end users of this kind of kit will not be building the engine for more power later on down the road and as a result, will not need the headroom for big turbos. |

Mike what kind of Hp numbers are expected for the different stages of the new kit? I love the idea of the smaller intercoolers to keep the crash bar but I'm also looking for 500-600whp as well. Is this still achievable with the new kit and setup?
