So just doing some research and tries to see what sheps dogbox tranny's go for and can't seem to find the lonk to the dsm stuff on his site. Does shep still build dsm trans?

Ya I got that also. It you guarantee a purchase hell do it. Bit at least he said dogboxes he is 100% still doing. But I have no idea how much they cost.
I have been toying with the idea of building another 2g. But for around here it would prettt much be a road race car that me and my brother would race when he comes to visit which is why I was trying to find a price for the dogbox.
Thanks for the video post btw

wouldn't a normal built trans work for a road race car? You'd think you wouldn't be making super gobs of gear breaking power in a road race type of car.

They're about $5500. But with all the advancements using EVO1-3 parts in the trannies now, a dogbox isn't really necessary. Also check out the E3 LSD rear end that's now popular for road racing, that's also on my winter upgrade list.
Yeah, I would think you would want synchro's for road racing.

what on top of the $5500 is needed to run a dog box?

Nothing, it's just straight cut gears without synchros in a stock tranny housing. Probably best to firm up the shift mechanism with solid bushings since you have to shift like you mean it with a dogbox. No granny stuff.

ok I just wondered if there was other things needed to run a dog like certain clutch setups etc.
