Will The Car Hold Up With That Much Torque
Alright so I recently got my car back and got the final numbers from installing my Zex Nitrous Kit.
My 93 Octane Tune with my JLT CAI put out 284rwhp and 309 torque
My Nitrous Tune with my 100 shot put out 377rwhp and 482 torque.
I was wondering some recommendations for what to do next. Will my car hold up with that much torque?

RE: Will The Car Hold Up With That Much Torque
The car feels brand new. I pulled out of the stop sign after I got it and just stomped it to the floor. It shifts at 6000rpms every gear. With traction control off I chirped 2nd. I need to learn how to lay off the gas now. I was happy when I saw the numbers as well. I gave up street racing but might have to have a little fun here when the chance arrives.

With the nitrous, you can pretty much count on blowing something up sooner rather than later. Probably starting with the engine, then transmission. Then, likely the rear end. You can't put 100 more HP and an equal amount of torque to the ground in a stock drivetrain and expect it to hold up over a long period of time.
That being said, in short bursts, I'm sure it will be fine.
