My GTO is my daily driver. I know that any mods increase the risk of failure, but how far can the engine be pushed with a reasonable expectation of reliability from the stock short block, T56, and remaining drivetrain? I am hoping 450-500 motor net (100-150 over stock).
I won't be side stepping the clutch, power shifting, or otherwise "race" stressing the car (that will be the GN's burden). I do generally like to "use" it (lots of 75% throttle), just not abuse it. I might run KD's, Pilots, or other summer tire.
I know that the clutch is a weak link, but under the above criteria, would it be OK or would I need an upgrade to Z06, aftermarket single disk, or two disk?
tyvm,
Tom
