From memory Mark is running a single plate clutch, which "may" slip under decent load, but it might be fine. The rest of the factory running gear, diff, drive shafts, tailshaft etc are fine for mid 10 second passes. Start going faster than that and it may or may not last Gearboxes are good for 1500hp or more, so they are bulletproof. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The clutch he put in is an extreme I think but dont hold me to that. It is a decent single plate still and ppl have run low 10's on single plates. The car was tuned rich as hell and still made 392rwkw. That was on 12psi. See below just how rich it was running. The engine should be good for 400rwkw safely. Lean on that tune a bit and it will make easily over 400rwkw. As long as it dont ping its ass off, an alloy block will survive any boost you give it, within reason.
