Has anyone here daily driven a 3sgte swapped celi with an s54 tranny that was 400hp or more?
Swapping very soon and im gonna build it up next year...this is my only car so just want to know my limits. Personal experiences only, not "well I read on alltrac.net ......" although direct links to other websites about this topic will be acceptable. im gonna have stock internals, MAYBE the street brawler turbo kit from KO in the future, if i cant reach my goal with the ct20b -------------------- |

Thanks for the input, and for understanding that im prepared for the outcome, whatever it may be.
lol of you can daily 340 at over 1 bar for over 100000 miles then im sure 400 will last almost as long, if not longer, if its tuned right. I dont have deep pockets but im not too materialistic. Honestly I LOVE my car but if it blew up (although the chances of this have to be 1 in a thousand..im sure it would throw a rod before any catastrophic happened) I would salvage what I could then just buy another. Not like im doing anything else with my time/money. I live at home with mom and sister. Only bill I pay is internet, and the various traffic tickets im paying off. I can afford a mistake or 2. Also yea I think the hydra ems has more than one map, even if I dont utilize that I can get an electronic boost controller. Some of those have 3 or 4 maps! Plus the scramble setting. Im gonna build a 400hp car no matter what. Daily driving it is a different story. If its too hard to control then cool, ill just daily it at 250 or 300, then turn up the boost when the occasion calls for it. Also ill make sure to keep a fire extinguisher in the car lolol -------------------- |
