stock transmission, driveshaft, and open diff with a heavy duty act clutch set, upfrading to the enjuku t3t4 kit, how much hp can the stock drivetrain hold without damaging something?

Depends on how you treat it.

wow, I butchered the typing in that first post...well I was debating on buying a DP but I got the enjuku kit for a really good price, I want to make someone in the 320-330whp range, im pretty modest on the throttle, just want to have a fun car and maybe something to take to the track every now and then.

Drivetrain doesn't care about the throttle, it cares about how hard you drive it.

My whole theory: you can abuse the car all you want, but you're going to break parts. So choose what you want to have 'fail' first. I choose to be reallt hard on my clutch so my transmission will last that little bit longer. I'd rather do a $350 clutch than a transmission anyday.
