Ahhhh, an SC. Forced induction by any other name is not the same.....planning, planning, and more planning.
IAG, that is a beautiful setup BTW, congrats. Where on the island can you open it up?! Is there a road long & straight enough to enjoy it? That would kill me
Gorgeous color

That engine bay looks great! Now, did you have the pipes polished because I KNOW my setup those look as good as that! LOL How much did the polishing cost? And what about the turnaround time for the polishing?

Easy. Just change the pulley on the SC. That would increase the boost, and give you MORE HP. But if you change it too much, then BOOOM!!!! there goes your engine.
The GS engine would need some more upgrades to handle more than 425 HP.
Hope that helps

Actually, those would not help as far as the tranny itself handling the over 425+ rwhp. I think that you probably can run up to 9-10lbs of boost (getting 400-425 rwhp), and use it as a regular driver, and not worry too much about the engine going out on you, but you have to consider that the pistons, and headers are not made for more than that, and it is not a steel engine, and will break under that stress. I think you would need custom engine parts to stand that kind of stress (SRT Level 4 SC).
The TC will increase your stall speed, meaning that it allow your engine to rev to a higher rpm so that you can takeoff faster, and with more torque. The LSD will put that power into BOTH wheels, and eliminate SOME of the wheelspin. Both are things I would recommend if you get a SC to harness that power, but as far as bulletproofing your tranny for getting say a 425+rwhp GS400, they wouldn't help much. IMHO
