If the clutch is the weak point and it's completely fine with 340 ft-lbs at 78,000 miles I doubt the trans would go with another 200. We'll see. By the time I can fully afford the 55K motor and everything we should already be in Indy so you'll be seeing first hand what happens. lol
All sounds good to me, but keep in mind, you are running street tires, possibly in OEM sizes? I have 295/30-20s on the back of mine, and many others have drag radials. I think when you increase the grip is when you are going to have to worry about the tranny and especially the rear end, but I guess if Jim's is holding, ours sure should
Let me know anything we can do to assist in the move or finding a potential new home, I have a few realtor friends around that are great...
