Drivetrain Limits of 2000 Mustang GT?

What are the weak links/parts in the stock drivetrain on the 2000 Mustang GT (manual trans)? In other words, at what RWTQ do certain parts start to fail? I bought a Kenne Bell 2.1 and I'm curious of just how hard I should/can safely push my drivetrain at the track once installed. I have Nitto 305 drag radials, so I will get a fair amount of traction.

Thx,

swcmgr

is it an auto or 5 spd? if it is a 5 spd, i would do the clutch. then i would weld in some torque boxes. from there just let your imagination go to work.

It all depends on your car. A lot of guys run the stock transmissions with slicks and drag radials.. I broke my 3650 with 382ft lbs with street tires at the track.

I would look at beefing up your rear end, clutch, and trans. Eventually you will need a built short block, as well.
