the car was on the dyno for about 6 hours last week and with everything bolted on and a custom tune we hit about 264 hp right now, the funny thing is from factory it came with 330 hp and with the add on's i should have been around 380 ish but it is what it is i guess
i want to stay under 500 hp so i don't have to start throwing money at the tranny from blowing up  from what i have read, the factory automatic tranny is only good for about 500 hp before one need to start moding then.

Was that 264hp at the wheels though? I hear ya on the tranny. Back in the day I had a modded 88 Mustang Cobra and it didn't take long before the factory transmission was toast and I had to buy a tremec TKO which was a huge hit to the wallet but not unexpected. Ever since I always make sure I read up on a vehicles factory capabilities before deciding what to mod and what not to. Now I drive a '13 Jeep Rubicon, so while not a rocket by any means the mods are endless, unfortunately my wallet (and wife) aren't. Are you going to try to get the G37 done before the snow flies?
