That is what the equation says but if you will notice there are quite a few 357's running with 650 to 750 hp and just about 500 ft-lbs.
Butfoy rates in torque.
If I understand the equation correctly, and that depends on how much Bud Light I have consumed, if the hp is up but the torque is remaining constant then it must be the T, or the time in which the torque is being delivered is shorter?
Still that puts the ZF in a safer mode.
If someone insists on running the equivelent of a 427 with 500 ft pound right off of idel and toping out in the 650 to 700 range I would bet you a nickel that the ZF doesn't have an icebergs chance in Hell?
I've already had two BL's so I have to refrain from mentioning a dollar amount now?
I wouldn't worry too much about twisting up the drive train with 500hp in this chassis anyway.
By the time the tires top spinning you will be shifting into third gear and the finish line will be in sight...or what ever those flashing lights are up ahead?
You don't think the ChiP's radioed ahead and it's a road block do you?
