besides price, this is the main reason i went Paxton over a tvs. the instant torque is awesome but puts a bit more strain on the parts you listed.

i'll hit the track occasionally but most of my fun will be on the streets of Mexico and i think the centri will hold its own very well.

also, when you say "less grunt off of the line", what exactly do you mean because even with a paxton, you'll still be pushing over 500tq so not as mean as a tvs with over 600, but much more so than stock at the mid 300s. i have 3.73 gears so a little better than your 3.15s for getting off the line but still, i think you could be smoking the tires through the first 3 gears if you wanted to.

good luck with your decision, looking forward to seeing what you end up with.
