That doesn't include the original engine install.  My goal was to equal the power and performance of the real deal, so that I wouldn't have to listen to those people who say "It's only a kit car".  I have no idea what to do now.  As far as I know there are no stronger input shafts or transmissions than what I already have.

Third broken input shaft
« Reply #1 on: September 09, 2012, 09:44:24 AM »
I'm so discouraged with my transmission problems.  I apparently broke another input shaft.  First one was stock.  Second one was the 300m alloy.  This one was the last GM Racing aermet 100 alloy available.  I had wanted to dyno the turboed ls4 and run it through the quarter just to see what I have.  Now I intend to just replace the input shaft with another 300m and just drive it carefully until I can figure it out.  It's been in the garage more than it's been on the road ever since the engine install.  I know that the Fiero guys have put the same amount of hp to the ground with their turbo 3800s.  I have put over $10,000 into the turbo kit and built transmission.  No problems at all with the turbo system.
