200? I thought the trans could handle close to 300 before doing nasty things
like shearing the input shaft and things like that.

Is there anyone out there who has actually broken a UN1 from too much
hp/torque that can speak up on this either way? I'm planning on turboing my
own D when I get to the powerplant stage, so this is kinda important to me.
