Default new tranny?!?!?

hey all,
i have a quicky here so here it is. i see alot of you guys on here that have well over 450 + hp to the rear. so i am curious, w/ the guys in the 500 hp and above, did you guys have to beef up your tranny? im not that all mechanically incline, something i was curious about and thought i would ask. thanks all......

Dont worry about it until it breaks. If you goto the track and launch hard at 5000 and you have slicks yes your tranny wont last long. Members such as Eatrice has 790rwhp and street tires and his car still has a stock tranny.

Thanks,
I am not the happiest with my dyno number 600rwhp/508rwtq but I guess its only on 8/9 pounds. I just like to get my car back sometime this month.
