the manual tranny is a getrag, period

Any thoughts on the internals, or just gonna push 'er and see? I've seen a few people that are pushing more power than what they say you can, but I don't know how much they compete with the car...

schizzo stated that the rods are good until 280 but i'll probably put a bit smaller pulley on and do the rods at the same time - after that it's piston heads at 300 according to the build book.

i got my estimate from an un-tuned automatic that saw a 60% increase in denver when it was put on the dyno. by that, if you tune it (70-80%?) and then get it to sea level i would think a 100% increase isn't too far off. for 140crank -> 112 w/ 20% dt loss, that means 224 at the wheels. even if i get 210 it'd be good enuf
