He said get my motor, build it and then get a good tranny to match the HP of the motor, then the driveline and rear end to match that. What are your guys' oppinion on this? I am not going against what Denny is saying at all either because he is one smart guy and has helped me tons but I just wan't more oppinions on this. Sorry to add another question in here though but I was following it because I thought it was interesting and you guy's brought up some points...
Thanks.
In most cases you can work your way back but, when you want somthing fairly high in hp like 450-500, you could build the motor, you may put it in, drive it around then get on it once and the tranny gernades, because it cannot handle the power, same with the rear end. So if you started at the rear and worked up, all your parts would be able to handle the power you actully get to.
