Dyno soon, in all honesty what kinda power can the w58 handle?
Well I'll be heading to the dyno within a month once everything is broken in and ready to go. The only limiting factor on my build is my w58 transmission.
I rarely drive my car hard, but when i do its usually at the quarter mile track. My question is this, assuming I don't beat on the w58 on a daily basis, what is the max whp, wtq the w58 will take? My goal is around 450whp, but i was thinkin about pushin it a bit on the dyno to get some good numbers. Can anyone speak from experience with relatively high hp numbers through a w58?

#1 do a search next time.
and from experience, the w58 blew its guts out for me at 380whp.
and before that no joke i screwed 2 or 3 clutches up before the trans gave out. honestly dont beat on it, dont dyno it hard or your asking for it.
and im not kidding. i went with a v160 because i was sooooo freaking tired off all the problems, plus, i was about to make more power.
good luck

Hope for the best, but expect the worst. Basically, I'm hoping the tranny will survive, but i'm expecting for it to blow up

I don't wish Ben SC's experience on anyone; its probably a worst case senario and you'll be fine.

By plug and play do you mean it will bolt into my SC300 and mate with the engine easy? If so, what kind of RWHP/ Flywheel HP can I expect it to endure? I'm only really shootin for 400 or so to the deck.
