If TRQ kills 7at trannies, is stage 1 any safer than stage 1.5?

brucelidat · 09-14-2013, 01:29 PM

SO I noticed that the torque numbers are pretty close int he GTM stage 1 and stage 1.5 kits. It's like 330 vs 340trq. If this is the case, then is there much benefit in terms of safety and reliability in getting the stage 1 over the stage 1.5? If the difference is negligible on the tranny, might as well get the extra hp form the stage 1.5 right?

10 trq isn't gonna make or break it. Flooring it in7th will.

Does the SC setup run the engine cooler than the twin turbo which seems to produce more heat?

My understanding is that SC runs cooler than turbos but still hotter than stock.
