depends entirely how you drive, you will find people on here that have 400+bhp with no problem, and you will also find poeple that brake em with 300bhp week in week out

Also depends on the engine spec. 400bhp on a T4 will be a lot easyer on box and diff than 400 bhp on a T34 with big boost spike.

If you drive like a hoon it'll last a month or two... if you drive like miss daisy then maybe the life you own the car!

My last engine produced 394bhp and 507nm @ 4400rpm and had totazlly std transmision, worked fine undtil i was on some sideways action in the rain and suddenly got traction...... there went the gearbox.
But would say 375 bhp on std gearbox and 500+ on std diff`s no problem, just dont go the sinter-plate way, that kills the diffs
