You guys bring up some very good points....i did go with the bulletproof parts on the lower end and rearend so i guess i shouldnt start getting cheap when it comes to the trans

Deff. will do some more searching to see what kinda prices i can get on the dedenbear or ultra glide case.

Pro70 as far as the pro gear go's.....DTS did my dana60 for me and they told me that the pro gears are just what you said,their alot softer then the street gears and they can take a HUGE amount of HP and not break but they will wear out VERY fast on the street.

I had them use the richmond street gears in my rear as they told me they have built many street gear setups for cars in the HP range as you and i are building.....but you cany always believe everything you hear so i guess theres only one way to find out. I do like the cooler idea you are talkin about though.

Also pro70 we need to talk sometime,it sounds like we are building very simuliar combos and i would like to ask you a few things about injection....never had a injected motor before so i'm not sure of the setup.
