true, but if driven nicely you can make them last better. rebel puts down 400 whp through the same box. granted, he changes them every 3000 miles or so, but he still puts it down. putting down 250hp -300hp or so is doable.

no way. rebel doesnt eat up gearboxs every 3000 miles. he's too lazy to do anything on his cars these days haha

but the stock KL rods usually go out around 400-450hp. brandon is replacing motors every 6 months cause he keeps bending rods

yeah, because he cant help but turn up the boost to 15psi which generates sufficient torque to bend them :-)

i try coaching him to just turn it down, but i think hes addicted. maybe the alcy from his tank is somehow making it into the cabin of the turtle when the boost is high? ;-)
