There are plenty of options out there. I've looked at the following > The tremec and T56 were the way to go but far to expensive for me. A box I may look at, which would take some luck to find would be the old VN Grp A 5 speed. Does anyone have an answer to the name of these boxes (getrag).

Basically below soughts out what i'm actually planning >>

VN 5.0 with 380hp. With the aims and intentions of circuit work, the box will only get a hard time on the track and the occasional punch of the line. I need a box to suit. The options you've all suggested are the W58, R154.

The plan also takes into account the fact I want to charge it down the track. This may take the numbers to 540hp at the fly. A tremec would be best suited, but could a R154 hold up.

Basically all i'm looking for is a box to suit the 380hp, which seems to be the W58 or if I fork out more the R154. With the R154 I would modify that weak thrust washer. The charger idea is for future plans, for that i'll definately save the bucks for a Tremec, but if the R154 is up to the task thats an option.

On the two power figures and the overall plan what would you do?

Thanks again for all the help fellas.

Cheers
