rick your joking right? 10% stronger then a standard box no chance m8 more like 100% stronger, mtx75 is definatly the way forward i went through seven boxes one lasting me an hour (layshaft bearing broke) standard bc box just not man enough..
my advise to anyone looking for a strong box for there fwd ford go through the expense and fit an mtx75. also many of the cars running mtx75 have not had the chassis leg strengthen the ones i've seen the chassis leg been cut in a way i would hate to see the state of the car after a low speed crash.

thanks
