Really? The tuner told me those upgrades would be fine on the trans, the weak point would be connecting rods. I really want to just go fast in a straight line lol

Ah yes. Rob. Who hurt my trans with a stock 16t, had no idea the wastegate was too slack and wanted $500 to retune it after we found that problem, had me throw injectors at what was a fuel pump deficiency and deleted my rev limiter so when the car lost traction the engine pegged at 8700 rpm? Really loved his work....

The rods in a RN are not the weak point. Actually it's your head, 99s have huge protrusions into the exhaust port that causes higher than acceptable exhaust temperatures and egt related knock.

Not for me7 P80s. You could try Gustav/Contrast, my only good experiences have been in person with Steve in CT

Yeah. Yields a better result than rebuilding and is far more cost effective.
