Re: Project Lex

This is why the tranny thing has been such a hard choice for me. I've been debating different options for damn near a year now.

1) Getrag 6spd - strong as hell, but lots of $$$ even for a 100k mile used one.
2) R154 5spd - somewhat strong if built right but I'd compare it to a built DSM tranny (just a matter of time before it wears down or explodes), less $$$
3) Built Supra 4spd - Somewhat strong (~800hp), lots of $$$ to do it right, not sure how to sync it's shifting with Megasquirt (pull timing)
4) GM 4spd (4L80e) - Would be awesome, but lots of $$$, not sure how to sync it's shifting with Megasquirt (pull timing)
5) GM 3spd (TH350/400) - Strong, less $$$ than 4spd but still a good chunk of $$$, only 3 speeds sucks, not sure how to sync it's shifting with Megasquirt (pull timing)

What would make it easier if I just do like brownman said and bought an NSX for a street toy, then just turned this into a pure drag queen. Then I'd just rock an Auto 2spd or 3spd and be done
