Default SC 400 build question

Ok guys I have some questions on the performance side of things about my 95 SC 400. I'm looking to get to 400hp out of my 1uzfe plus was going to add some NOS. I love the V8 in the car and don't want to swap it. I know how to build V8s but this has got me stuck. Also need to know if the stock auto trans will be ok with the power and the stock diff will hold up. Any input is greatly appreciated.

well since you dont want to swap the motor, you really only have two options. A) get a custom made turbo set-up and spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars. B) throw on a M90 or M112 supercharger and save a little money in your pocket.

you will need to upgrade your trans and diff with that much HP if you are putting it to the wheels. but if your putting those numbers to the flywheel....then you might be able to stay with the stock trans and diff. someone with better knowledge my want to chime in...

Also there are threads about this topic...search button is your friend homeboy lol

I would start with a LSD, Torque Converter and build yours trans up. Your SC will feel like a new car with just the LSD and TQ alone. Like he said above though. CL has a wealth of info just a search button away.
