can you do clutch-less shifts with this box? i reckon even with your old engine you could break 10 secs for the 1/4mile...

can you choose rwd or awd bias with this box? Really, its awsome... Cant wait for the new engine specs...

yes being a 'dog' box, clutch less shifts are no problem. the gearbox can run in rwd or 4x4 the bias is completely adjustable electronically in car.
