With STS's, I might add. I know theres a ton of broken ones out there, but almost every time, the owner also reports forcing the shift to third.

LMAO, *Lots of bone stock trannys with original shift forks suviving just fine behind +300whp cars. With STS's, I might add.*

So ah, how would HP effect shift forks?

*If breaking the car is more important than losing the race*. Well,,,,, both I've been working on here are raced at the drag strip and autocrossed weekly. It isn't a matter of beating that one guy at a stop light, they are physically raced. And yeah it is fun to bring home first place trophys. One more thing, if you drive like your grandma as a slow driver not into racing why are you buying a short throw shifter? If not trying to go fast which is to say your actually trying to WIN, then what is the point of spending money on a short throw? You take your time with shifts and then hammer it, like your driving with a 525 and shift forks won't ever bend. You power shift them trying for a better time and a short throw will bend and break things allot faster. So "if" winning is what your doing because your actually racing, expect to put the car in the shop with a short throw. Untill some body comes up with new shift forks (wouldn't that be nice).

I mention 300hp becuase most folks willing to go to those lengths are going to push the car. Not many folks mod to that level and drive like grannies. I push mine, its been to the track. Forcing a bad shift will break them. Thats known. Sure cant win after you break one, though. You lose either way. Just one way, you get to go the second round. I just dont agree that STSs break these. Since shifts take more effort, it would mean you have to apply even more force to break it.

Am I the only one who thinks it would be odd to bump fuel pressure on a car that runs SILLY rich from the factory? Everyone else is trying to find ways to reduce fueling....
And it seems MANY find lots of time in going to a 3" exhaust and/or a cutout (as an aside)

The SRT trans is VERY strong....abusive shifter will break it, but it's taking an absolute crap-kicking from uber-hp motors.
