              Definitely tranny cooler.
              Probably at least beef up the tranny to v8 specs (more clutch discs, etc.)

              Intercooler or meth injection depending on how much boost you run, and the intake air temps you start seeing.

              More fuel pump.
              Fuel pressure gauge.

                Careful. To have a good daily driven car, I think this is the wrong approach.
                I believe a DD 10 sec car would cost much more than a track only 10 sec car.

                To have a 500 HP daily driven 3.8 you would need to get an L67 to start with, then I would do the trans and rear end for sure or it will leave you stuck somewhere, sometime.

                    Re: find the weak link (mod list)

                    ok, I am terrible at making a mod list

                    I do have a walbro pump and FP gauge, I didnt list my gauges (boost and A/F also)

                    I already have an intercooler for the system as well

                    Like I said, I will not drive this car at 500hp daily, I only plan on cranking up the boost to 15 psi or so for a run or two on the dyno, I dont want to push it too much, like I also said before, one or 2 500+ runs on the dyno and I am good to go, I plan on running a daily 400-425 HP.

                      Your car wasn't fine, you broke the transmission and probably the rear end.
                      Its on a better rod/piston combo as well.

                          Good call.
                          I have recently seen a lot of cars of people I know that tried to skimp on things, that only came back to bite them in the ***.... hard.
                          They always cost twice as much to fix later than if you replace them with better parts before they break.

                                  At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                  Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
