FI drivetrain reinforcement
For anyone doing the IPF centrifugal SC or TT, what is the bare minimum, as well as the common steps that should be taken to ensure the drivetrain will hold up to the increase in power?

Manual or auto? You honestly don't need anything extra

Honestly, nothing. The auto could benefit from a v8 rear swap but for the manual nothing. Are u planning on any racing?

Trailing arm and toe rod bushings, clutch eventually.. but honestly, once you start, you will always be doing something...

Actually I'd say the clutches in the manual transmission has been the weakest link we've found. Also the torque converters in the 2012 (not sure about 2013) automatics have been having issues.
Otherwise...no issues.

Torque converter huh? Hmmm. Might have to look into that in the future. I also heard I might want to look into an SS rear diff for my automatic.

Thanks for the tips. After going the FI route, how much time has anyone shaved off their e/t with DRs?

In the near future id highly recommend an aluminum drive shaft for the manuals and if your transmission feels notchy id recommend the ideal g master cylinder if you drag race as well.

The SC alone shaves a good second or more off the time and is capable of putting the V6 in the high 12s. With DRs and a good launch I'd guess mid 12s is possible for sure. Maybe better....but not sure.
