Adding big HP to a DSM, what will break first? Options

[Hornswoggler]

Just wondering what the weak points are to this car and/or drivetrain if I start adding big power.

I know the first thing we all think about is adding HP, but at what cost? Are there any reliability concerns or known parts that need strengthened or replaced?

TIA!

i'm not the best one to answer teh upgrade path for a transmission.. but don't go with a new stock on... there are upgrade peices, i think like spider diff??? i have no idea what the pieces are...

actually, wortdog, natedogg, KOU, Spy, well, basically any one on the top ten posters list except for post whoring me should be able to answer that for you better... josh at slo ponies is a reputable transmissionbuild up guy in the local area.

what type of hp are you talking about? wha is your budget... cuz i think what spy is getting at, is that if your budget and goal aren't to the point where those items are going to break, your better spendiing your money on other parts...
