I plan on getting a reliable mild 1776. Do I need to beef up my axles? I probably don't need to touch my tranny right? Also, running the stock 165R15's is probably no problem? I have never driven anything above a 1500sp so I don't know what to expect. thanks r Glenn Mon Nov 10, 2003 9:10 am Stock tranny and axles are fine... unless you plan on dumping the clutch at 6000rpm. If you drive it normally without beating the snot out of it, stock is fine for a 1776. Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
