Have you upgraded your clutch ? ACT xtreme clutch pressure plate and disc gets 300% upgrade in torque. Power to the wheels.... Upgrade CV shafts too...past 200 hps they are kinda unreliable...

CV shafts are a combination of two things: the halfshaft and CV joint. The halfshafts connect your differential (and thus transmit power) to the hubs of the wheels via CV joints which are special joints designed to account for the change in angle between where the halfshaft enters the differential (essentially fixed) and the hub as the hub moves up and down with the wheel and the rest of the suspension. It would be looking into upgrading these since the CV shafts are only designed to take the torque provided by a stock vehicle and may not hold up once you start increasing engine output.
