Looks good for the currently more and more big ci / mighty hp streetcars being build. Of course the big Q will be what it will survive on the strip I guess. It's just not me who will figure it out as I just ordered a GForce GF4A trans for the racer. As said, at least it looks tuff!

I saw it at SEMA, Red from mcleod said they were thrashing to get it done in time for the show. The cluster gear is multi-peice, that allowed them to put a bearing in the middle of it that mounts in a bulkhead thru the middle of the case. That's where the strength comes from. THe overdrive is mounted in the tailshaft housing. It is all syncronized, so I don't know how well it will shift in drag racing applications. I suppose it can be slick shifted just like any 833 trans. I think he mentioned that 2300 price to me also. He also said they came in second place for best new product at SEMA. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

That shifter set-up looks like it could be the Achilles heel for street use and strips with dust covered pits.Other than that I like the look of it and it looks like you wouldn't need much fabrication to install it in any car. Gus ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer.gif)

Wonder what the gear ratios are??? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif) the Tremec 1 is too deep and the 1-2 is a little wide, I could go for a close to even spread 4 speed with a .8 od. Something like: 2.56 1.92 1.28 1 .8
