you can get your tranny built by boost logic for 2k. It works good for their cars running 9 sec 1/4 miles...

show cars are cool...I've built a few in my lifetime strictly for show and for points. I competed in CA where the competition is always fierce. I won 1st place in my class at every HIN show I competed in between 2002-2004 show season...I've won several top Import Showoff shows, placed 4th out of their best of the best show.There's just too much political stuff going on in shows. That's why I just build the cars for myself now. I can appreciate all the hard work that went into your car. Some of it is not my taste, but most of it I like a lot. I hope you can sell it for what you want.

Do us a favor by keeping negative comments to yourself. It may not look the way YOU want it to look, but it seems to be good enough for the owner.

Thanks for the Info and shading some light on the show car scene.

On the trans, I would have to check my notes, but I was considering going with them. At the time, the trans had a 800-850hp limit. It may be different now, so I will follow up.

Thanks again.

Hey Paul. We haven't spoken in a long time. Your car is beautiful. The fit and finish are second to none. I do like most of what you have done to it. Paint looks incredible, and Chris did some wild fabrication in your engine bay, a work of art.

The BL tranny has not changed. It is still built the same as they have been. If you plan to mainly street drive the car, it should be your most cost effective and easist tranny to retrofit into your car....plus it bolts right up, you don't need any bell housing adaptors or mods to make it work. Plus it will work with your stock electronics.

You mentioned your concern about handling power....800-850 hp? I would not worry about that. I do not know what the details are on your performance build up, but to get to that HP will take some large Garrett turbos, a minimum of 2 Walbro 255's or equivalent Denso fuel pumps, a built motor that has been sufficiently decompressed, a rear end to handle the torque, a modified drive shaft, a proper fuel system set up and the engine management to tune all that fuel and air. Now you may have done much of this,and if so fantastic!! I just haven't seen your mods list to know, sorry for my ignorance on your mods list.

GL on the sale, you're giving it away....Somebody should be quite happy to own such a well thought out and executed ride. But if you don't sell it, enjoy it, and insure it well.

I've got one from 2004 NOPI (probably four paint jobs in the past and way before the widebody and FI )

Boost logic runs the same tranny on their drag car that has dyno'd over 1k whp....only thing that they change are the clutch packs every now and then, obviously cause that's the part that will wear out.

What are you running for engine management? Thats what I'm fighting right now.
