One of our other cars has been running with a stock 5-speed drive line with 460 hp and 400 ft*lbs at the crank. Note: it was tuned *down* to 400 ft*lbs to improve the longevity of the drive line.

R160 + 400 ft*lbs = Complete Failure
Ever wonder why we swapped out the whole drive train in Domino? The stock RS 5-speed drive line was mechanically working just fine. The reason is because we are targeting 400 hp and 400 ft*lbs at the wheels. The STI 6-speed + R180, and the 5x114 axles we are using can reliably run that kind of power without drama. 5-speeds cannot.
