- Sun Sep 19, 2010 6:35 pm #214475 Well what would I have to get for my tranny to handle the power? Also I have always wanted to build and all motor because everybody in my town thinks that a little 4 cylinder can't push out enough power to even make a 12 second 1/4. So proving them wrong will make this build that much more sentimental.

For the tranny, MFactory makes a really good gear set, carbon synchro set, and final drive set. They're not stupid expensive either, as compared to higher end companies. And a limited slip is in order. Kaaz, Quaife, MFactory, so long as it's a well known company with a good reputation, you're golden.

- Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:48 pm #214840 I agree, the stock transmission can handle the power, but that much power in a race only car that is going to see nothing but the drag strip? That's reason enough for me to build the trans up. Consider the burnout, launch, and shifting. There's a shitload of forces acting against the gears and differential literally in an instant on the burnout and the launch.

At the very least, I'd say get an LSD and a beast mode clutch.
