Oh I forgot a drive shaft and a loop.
The manual tranny in the car is a tr 3650 with a 10 spline input shaft (which is the part that usually breaks).
It will handle up to about 500 to the tires but that also depends on the tires your running and how you are launching.
If you are using MT 325/50/15 its probably gonna breakfaster than using MT 275/40/17.

Throttle body spacer = waste of money.

Get a supercharger.
