G60 swap questions

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Well, to be fair to them, I asked how much hp you could pump into them
safely.  I can't recall the fellas name, I want to say John, anyways he said
that he and another fella there consistently drag race theirs, and both of
them had over 220 hp IIRC.  He then estimated that you should be safe up to
225-250, depending on abuse, etc.  *shrug*  I dunno, that is from memory,
and you know how parts mans' memories are...

You could prolly ask them some more specific, and educated questions than I
could. :-)  Give them a scream if you want, German Transaxle in Bend, OR.
