+1 Couldn't imagine how amazing that would feel to get on it with a DCT with that kit... Must be just mind blowing

You make a good point. Obviously if you're going to be drag racing the car on a consistent basis as well, I think reinforcement of the subframe and rear suspension should also be in mind as well, not just the transmission.

For normal daily driving with occasional track use, obviously you're less likely to hurt the drivetrain as much as drag racing the car on a very consistent basis and of course as you say, beating the living snotrockets out of the car. Still no reason NOT to have fun while driving it though lol
