Less, not fpor me now that I am at this point. I made some changes for the tranny and drive shaft, but for other reasons than fear of breakage. I still have the same 3:23 rear I have been using over 40 years now. IF and when it goes, I will replace it. Don't let fear limit you or deprive you.

That's pretty much where my head is at with this. Factory power not enough, but just want to make sure I'm not turning it into something that I won't enjoy driving.
After all the discussion, I think what I'm doing is going to get me what I want.
