I have a few gears laying around if he needs them

Powell gave me a new transmission with 4.45 gears. Car should of had this gearing from the factory. Car is more lively on the street since the higher revs puts the big turbo in the spool zone.

If the car came with a giant turbo from the factory it probably would have come with 4.45. 3.82 is plenty for the (relatively) lagless stocker though I think.
