	i knew a dude that put a 1500 hp engine on his gokart. He gassed it one time and the motor broke loose and ran his ass over

	Yeah the transmission won't be able to handle the abuse of the engine. You'll have to get a heavy duty transmission that is built to handle 1500hp which is a hell of a lot of power. What is the engine going into anyway?

	LET ME GUESS, YOUR SISTER'S NEIGHBOUR'S UNCLE'S COUSIN'S EX WIFE HAS ONE AND YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN YOUR HONDA. GO FOR IT, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG.

	Yes but you would have to upgrade your transmission actually you would pretty much have to replace your whole drivetrain
