i myself dont think the tko is gonna last. ive seen them behind 800+hp motors beforte, however nothing with a proper 4 link and the size of tire under it you have. it is after all only rated at 600ft/lb torque. i think a lenco st1200 would be a far better setup. may want to give it some serious thought before you buy the tko.

I will ask more questions and research this transmission before making a choice.
On to a different note, I also recall you offering to do some work on the car if it was home......

it will be more money, i cant argue that, but its less money in the long run as you wont have to buy a 2nd or 3rd TKO after you have blown the first ones up. i cant think of any H-pattern tranny thats going to stand up to the power you want to put down, thats why again i brought up the lenco again. here is the link http://www.lencoracing.com/ST1200MasterPage.html
and on a side note, yes i did offer to help out with the project. when you have your "see the car day" i will come out and we can go from there

Some changes couldn't be avoided. Of course now I have 2 turbo's for sale if you want.

It has made some good steps since it got home.
Thanks Brian, it is definitely about time there was positive progress on this project.
Better late than never, and thanks.
Giving up was thought about but I hate quitting and I too am glad we kept going.
Within the next few weeks there will be plenty of progress and new pictures so stay tuned or check out my website for regular uodates now that things are actually happening again.
