standard mtx75 / cts stage two if it was'nt for the quaife diff i would say mtx75 but the a.t.b diff makes such a difference plus the mtx75 not a straight forward fit. i wish i could fit a mtx75 to my frst currently running a cts stage two plus but i keep on cracking cases

Defiantly mtx75 such agood box strong,nice gear changes, better ratios and like rick said clutch which can handle loads of power.

i know that jano at oddkidd creations has done this a bunch of times ,

also simon at sas (sitech racing ) has this setup ,

you could try asking both of them , its deffo the way im going in my next project ,

boxes aint cheap but then neither is a stage 2 cts box ,



you can also use the 6 speed box from the st 170 .
