    i would guess around 1000+HPwould need 1,can use 1 at anytime tho if u really wanted. They arent too hard to instal,id go w/a skinny kid plate,if u still have stock motor mounts u can use that as a guide or if u want to motor back & down more then all u have to do if make sure u have ground clearance for oil pan/transmission pan & enuff room to get transmission botls out,valve covers off,ect. Its easier than it sounds.

    No specific power level, its good to have in any race car. It takes alot of stress off the block.

    Your converter needs to be set up to work with a mid.
