wouldnt go anymore than 200 bhp on it, make sure you have a really good oil in it.

Halfords do a fairly affordable (8 quid a litre) synthetic oil and then to really protect your box stick half a bottle of the engine slick 50 in as well.

It's one of the best boxes i know. Smooth change and totally silent. My power doesnt come in one hit, so that probably helps.
