Need Help
 

My 92 lx 5.0 w/ manual tranny has the following:

K&N
70mm TB w/ EGR
Edelbrock Upper/lower intakes
Edelbrock Hi-Per. Heads and Cam
A/C deleted
BBK Headers w/ H pipe and Catbacks
MSD ignition system (coil, box, plugs, cap and rotor)
NOS with a 75 shot
160 thermo
6500 rpm chip

Everything else is stock

Question? I haven't driven it yet (get it back today-this afternoon) and wanted to know if its too much power for the tranny and block? What else should I be concerned with? The NOS is connected to the foot pedal. If mashed to the floor, there she goes...

This car is to take the wife and kids for ice cream at dusk on warm days. Its a convertible....

What do I need to know?

It is not too much power for the block....lots of guys running that combination and greater.

I'm wondering if the differential is a one legger or limited slip. You may just smoke one tire if it's an open rear axle. I'm assuming you have a 3.08-3.27 rear axle. If you do have Traction-Lock, you might burn up the clutches in that unit. If you do abuse it a lot with "juice", (N20), you will eventually break something. But that's a risk we all take with higher performance cars. It's worth the "fun factor" IMHO.

i believe both tires smoke; the stock rear is what? 308 or 327?
