This question is for the guys that have done the basic mods on gtp's and regals. I want to add a smaller pulley and cold air kit to my mom's 98' riv and im pretty sure it has the same transaxle as the regals and gtps. I have my dad convinced about it....But i posted on another board about it...and one guy replyed...saying that he didnt think the transaxle would fair very well against the increase boost and that the trans would need to be beefed up. Also he stated...that with the supercharger spinning faster...he thought excessive heat would build up. Is this true?? This car wont be raced at the track...but we want to have fun with it...so will the pulley and cold air kit be too much for the transaxle? I know it wont grenade it...but...realisticly....Will this shorten the life of the transaxle? I really want to do the swaps...but there is no way my dad will beef the transaxle up..and the car has almost 100,000 miles on it...so i want to make sure this wouldnt be a "death trap" for the car. Thanks....
