but how u gonna use that much power in a rwd mate ? how u gonna get it to hook up even on low boost ? u gonna go a glide or somethin ?

Its still a street car so no glide. Id rather put in a PPG box.

This morning I had my rear guards rolled, ready for the future set of rear rubber.

Is it hard to control the power with the right foot, all or nothing? Or you can still modulate it fairly well.

I've driven a few xr6t's with around 550rwkw and at that power/torque level it is very hard to modulate torque with throttle position even when using electronic throttles. One was a track car which I spent hours on mapping accelerator pedal position vs actual throttle angle - the other variables were desired boost vs throttle angle and the point at which intake cam began to really advance. The car was drivable but still hard to handle mid corner.

Now u should find a rolling GTR shell so u can set it up with 4wd

1 of my mates is running over 320rwkw in his gtst & that is a scary handful asit breaks out in 3rd gear under acceleration...i couldnt even imagine what its like with 550rwkw. it would be frighteningly good though

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
