Is it me or alot of people over looking something that would give you a lot more power to the wheels with out having to do one thing to the engine... Droping your car off at a good tranny shop and letting them rebuild you transmission so you could have 95% of the engines power to the ground....has anyone tired this yet? or is going to try this? i know you guys doing swaps and turbos might really want to look into this.... cause whats the point of having all that power if your losing 30% in side the tranny....
let me know why you guys think? -------------------- |

just remember that the 5sfe is only 135hp at the crank. so, even if you worked some crazy tranny magic the the most you could ever get out of the car would be less then 135hp at the wheels.
