    Only issue i see is when making the amount of power you break the 6spd gears...the 5 speed is a better trans :/

    Im 50/50 on putting my name on the list at the moment.

    my way of looking at it, we won't be actually throwing money ANYWHERE until it's tested and proven to actually be stronger, so your money is safe, and at only $2.5 that's looking very cheap compared to replacing ANOTHER TC and repairing whatever damage your GB takes when the TC shears off.

    if your running say 600hp+ with a hard clutch and like to beat on your car your name should be on this list (assuming your not selling your car in the next year) do it for the rest of us

    Well, unless steve can get us a price on a single unit, i dont think anything will be proven since i dont think we'll get 15 buyers for an unproven part that costs this much cash.

    Absolutely, before I hand over my Cash I want a Guarantee that one will be sent out to our glorious breaker of all things metal (Andre) and he will get the bash it for atleast 3 drag meets, then take it apart and check for wear/damage etc.

    my name is on that list only if the above happens, we have had too many products that ended up worse than stock.

    Weeee bit off on your pricing, 950 from Pampena and i think 850 is the current GB price through Pampena.

    I have a feeling these gears will do nothing in a stock housing. Has anyone measured deflection of the aluminum on the 6 speed housing?

    In the 5 speeds the weak link was two bolt hole passages in one of the corners that were very close together, 99% of the cracks/broken housings started there. I wonder if there is enough flex in the 6 speed housing to allow flex, and then the gears unalign...BOOM, especially with the narrower surface contact area of the 6spd vs. 5spd.

    Are you thinking the mid housing is flexing? I doubt the smaller gear set in the considerably bigger/heavier/strong iron housing is flexing much if at all.

    Maybe the mid, but I would wager that the breaking of the gears is from temporary misalignment versus raw power, but I could be wrong.
