Geaboxman big tooth gearkit is what some use, and seems to be upto 500hp AFAIK?

But the ultimate answer is a Tremec TKO-600.

Not sure on the big tooth, but TKO's come up every now and again, for about £2500ish depending on what comes with it

Ginner, i keep telling you, it's the TORQUE that'll fook the box & diff, not the 500bhp..

But as for your question, what James said, Tremec TKO, fit & forgot...

Useless unless you get the gears changed far too big a drop 5th to 6th.
Gear for 5th to be correct & you will not pull 6th, get 6th right & you will rev its tits off in 5th. Looked at this years ago. The TKO works 0-210 .

this one

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2248266.htm

if its genuine and a tidy motor its cheap imo.
il put it this way its worth a look, my supra looked a bit suspicious but its done 6 163 mph dyno runs without an issue, if your not sure about it get someone to check it over who is.

Pretty sure it is Neil, I had same box in my 200sx...never had any issues with it, good conversion, and it's actually easy to live with unlike big tooth this and straight cut that at £1500+

I was thinking one of the newer BMW 6 speed boxes has to be good, they seem to be able to take the torque and having 6 gears would be pretty cool for m.way cruising.
