I recently purchased a 92 SC300 fully stock except for the front rotors and calipers. I am new to all this with only basic mechanic knowledge. I am wondering which direction I should go to get around 500 hp from the 2JZGE and 4 speed auto tranny without having to swap in a 6sp. Getrag or 2JZGTE motor.
I know the N/A version has some potential and I need to know the best way to exploit it.

Just before you get a smart/mean reply... do yourself a favor and do a search. Clubna-t.com has some great source of information on getting some power out of your ge.

well like TLDriver said, do a search..but for short, your going to be very very lucky to squeeze enough ***** out of the stock auto to hit 500hp and it hold up..you MIGHT beable to push 425hp with the accumulators shimmed, a deeper pan, and a good oil cooler. Only other option is the BL Auto trans, and even they are rated at a mild 450hp rating IIRC.

But, you dont have to go with the V160 6-speed, an r154 will suffice just fine.

Here's a repost of a tranny rundown...Here's your choices from lowest price to highest price
~~~W58- first time you miss a shift in a 500hp car you're gonna need a new tranny.
~~~R154- $1200=1200hp marlin crawler tranny. People have gotten lucky but I say no stock 154 on over 600hp.
~~~Built Auto- Do your research and have a local tranny shop build an auto to your specs. It's pretty cheap and very effective.
~~~Th350- th400's weaker, malnourished little brother. LOL
~~~Boostlogic's built auto- NA holds like 600-700. TT holds more- lots of the better track boys are running the tt. Some people have had a bunch of great seasons with these- other people had issues. BL has since put out a how-to sheet so that the driver won't do things improperly and break it.
~~~TH400- Automatic 3sp...up to 1700hp depending on who's building it.
~~~V160- it'll hold more than you can throw at it. Needs a $5k Tilton clutch. If you think you aren't going to push enough HP to need a Tilton then save your $ and buy a 154 because you don't NEED a v160. It's only above the TH400 if you include the Tilton.
~~~4L80e- Auto w/overdrive...holds 1600hp depending on who's building it.
~~~Titan's built auto- supposedly has fixed the issues that the BL tranny has. Penton's been running one for a few months on 950hp and it's worked out a lot better for him than BL's. They're just now turning them out so put in a deposit if you want one.
~~~Powerglide- ATI- 2 speed, you'll never need this ever.
