Default Higher HP Applications - Prothanes and/or Torque Limiters?

Looking to get some current thinking around this topic as I know some members here have been running each (in some cases both) for awhile now.

Thanks!

I really don't think the che torque limiters are just for 'high HP applications'

If you are a powershifter, it is a great mod regardless of HP level IMO. The only thing is I really don't like the limiters by themselves and don't think you really get the benefit of them without the k-member brace. The work hand in hand with each other to plant that tranny well and lock in those shifts...

But a good shifter might still be needed too... (however you should already have done that mod...[8D])

Wish I could use my torque limiters again. After I put the longtubes on, the passenger TL was hitting the exhaust.

Anybody run the torque limiters with a turbo kit? I'm curious about exhaust clearance being an issue.

I have a pair of prothanes on my car. After installing them, I don't feel the need to install any other bracing. They keep the engine/transmission fairly well planted on their own.
