throwing in my two cents...this week im rebuilding the '89 gearbox that luke and i scored at that picknpull in PA, and im just thankful that it is only going to have to deal with around 116hp. these are tiny gearboxes with tiny gears for the size car that they are trucking around. the t-50 toyota bo...
