You can put 500 bhp through this box.





































but it won't last 5 mins.

About 350 is considered about the max safe limit.

with that kind of bhp you use I think a 6 paddle is good enough and more user friendly than the 4 paddle.

the 4 paddle is too much, 6 will do.

There not much weight in the car neither.
