Will it be ok for 300 hp?

I'll tell you right now, it depends on the wieght you your car.
HP isn't much as a factor as the Torque would be. Torque is what breaks things to hell and back.
Assuming 300HP & 350 FPT @ the crank, and 270 & 320 FPT, why not...
hehe You got to go out and see buddy !!!

I've got 450 @ the crank, and I'm wondering if a 10 bolt will hold up. So for so good.

You've got a Cell phone Right ???

several people on here claim to be in the 12s and even 11s on factory 10 bolts and t5s or 700r4s. might be luck, might be good prep but you'll never know untill you try it.
