[QUOTE="Gpcalero, post: 15387572, member: 155311"] Don't go off the the upper limits. You could have a 1000rwhp stock motor that lasts for years if you never get on it. The motor can blow at as little as 585rwhp, or be pushed to 1000rwhp. The general consensus with these motors is a 600-620 safe max for everyday driving. Some people are pushing up to 700 with no problems too. Mine let go after 16,000 miles from a VMP TVS at 9.5lbs of boost. Bad tank of gas. All you really need is good fuel and oil pump gears. The MT-82 is finicky. Some people have no problems whatsoever with conservative boost, while others blow them at stock power levels. I've have seen just as many V6 MT-82 cars with broken trannys as the V8 here at the shop. Driveshaft should be fine if you have an auto, but probably not a good idea if you have a stick car and are launching the vehicle hard. You'll end up twisting the shaft at the minimum. Either way, wouldn't be a bad idea to swap it out for a better piece. Everything depends on your driving habits. [/QUOTE]
