Too much power?

Just purchased Diablo Predator and WOW! I have not punched in the 100hp setting yet. I think i am a little leary about tranny and rearend. I was just wondering how much power will the stock driveline support? I am very pleased with the programmer. The cobwebs and dust have been shaken off and I LOVE IT! I keep it in 60hp (economy) setting 95% of the time. Economy, who are they kidding, with the new settings its hard to stay off the pedal. Any comments would be great. Thanx!

It should handle 100HP fine but I recommend you use a EGT gauge for 100HP. If you go over 100HP you need to look into getting the tranny rebuilt with power in mind.
