I'm sure they beefed up the trans/clutch for this application. (Or the trans could actually handle that power all along and they just wanted to differentiate the power between manual pure cars and the comp models)  |
I believe it's the torque the trans can't handle, not the HP. By the looks of it they did not beef it up since the torque is still the same. I'm more intrigued that they were able to still get a 90hp increase without increasing torque at all. Must have taken some serious tuning work.
It's too bad they did not beef up the trans as that's the limiting factor of all the current bmw manual cars.
