    I called the Level 10 shop today and the guy told me basically they build each transmission to customer specs, and he can make our transmission handle whatever power level we want it to handle...he was fully aware that it was a 4x4 trans etc. Basically, what this means is that we can upgrade the power on our cars past the stock boost range on the supercharger (for the lucky ones that have them). Now, what I need to find is some forged pistons, crank and rods. Anyone seen a forged rotating assembly for the engine? At the very least I think a rod/piston upgrade could let us go to around 400HP...imagine...a 400HP TOD Vehicross...can you say INSANE!!! That would put you in the same playing field power wise as the new camaros, the VX weighs less than the camaros, and the TOD 4wd....im drooling just thinking about it!!! 12 second 1/4 mile times in a fully equipped offroad vehicle is something short of amazing...this is my new goal haha....Bear in mind the 400hp is just a figure im throwing out. I'm not sure how many cfm the supercharger can flow, and i'm not sure what kind of HP can be extracted from STOCK heads, but i'm sure we can figure it out. And if the supercharger can't flow enough I believe there is a member fabbing a turbo kit for the VX...he has a performance shop or something.

    This sounds appealling to me,on my personal taste our VX's running 300HP is ehough to please me 100% so any thing further is extra.

    With robbomaz trying to put together the new S/C system & trans upgraded to this specs any one with the $$$$$ can do any thing.

    As of if the camaro weights more then the VX i got to look into that.
    The down on the VX is precisely the weight agains powertrain capability
    Dakar was just the begining.
