Clutch yes, trans no. Not for now anyway until I get used to the way the car drives.
The stock STi transmission has been used in cars up to 650-700whp with no problems. The real PROBLEM with it is that the gears are too short. I ripped through the gears before, I can't imagine what it will be like soon.
May eventually go to 1-4 straight cut gears, supposedly they could drop almost a second on your quarter mile time. STi gearing is woefully short.
