^^^^ Why dnt both of yah look into the T56 6spd tranny and see if RedPhoenix can fabticate and adapter for it. T56 Handles Tons of power and Torque and way cheaper than a Getrag, and somewhere in the price range of a R154

Pedals have Nothing To Do With The Tranny Being A Getrag. Its best to go to Driftmotion.com and get The Pedal Conversion There

do you already have the injectors? if not i think for your setup you could get away with the mk3 supra n/a injectors,or you can run the rx7 injectors as well..it will help alittle with your costs...do you already have a better fuel pump?
