i haven't seen any thread about people trashing their tranny when they use their nitrous.
the tranny doesn't break when the sudden addition of 75 additional hp is unleashed, but somehow its not going to hold up to the additional load of the srt torque?
If you don't have the empirical data to support your claims, do some research and help us all understand your position.
I for one would most likely blow up my transmission in the process of missing a shift. The shifter works beautifully most of the time.. but once in a while it gives my hand the feeling (and sound) of being in gear, but I get a nasty grind. It may not blow up instantly, but it's life will be drastically shortened. I think instead of bothering with the srt motor, an LS swap is a great idea. For the amount of time, money and effort it obviously takes.. why not get an extra 2 cyl... and however much power you want (+$,time, effort.). Do you guys really care if it's a "mercedes" that much?
