When i did drive her, even with my 305 (same top end as the 355) guessin puttin down low 300 high 200 horses and torque in the 350 range it still held up good. Knock on wood. Oh ya its got 170k on her. Then again i never put any sticky tires on her so that may be why. Next test, see if she can hold up to the future 406, 10 second monster. But ya just invest in a tremek 500/600/tko. Its done me good so far but ive heard quite a few stories of people breaking em. Then again if you can get it for super cheap and ur not putting down to many horses and street tires you should be fine. Have fun and keep us updated.

well with what everyone has told me I am going to try to get my auto workin a little better and just keep it for a while. I am going to get the 3/4 throtte valve and trans cooler and I am going to call bowtie overdrives and ask them if a lock up will work in my trans and get a lock up wiring kit. hopefully this will help my 2gear-3gear shift problems.

well i talked with a guy from bowtie overdrives I guess my trans is not a lock up so I cant get a lock up kit. which I think would have helped my problem so that sucks. so hopefully a trans cooler and 3/4 throttle vavle will help my problem of redlining in sec?
