Just another boring intro... please feel free to ignore.

Honestly, after concealer suggested checking out Soviet's build, I'm really liking the direction he's taken. That BW turbo is putting out some awesome numbers! I'm only about half-way through reading his build, but.... DAMN! I'd be happy as hell if I could get those kinds of results!
I'd be all.... NAWWWS! Don't need it now!

Haven't quite gotten that figured out yet. I'm hoping that I could get a 6-speed out of a junkyard or something and rebuild it. Not sure if it'll take the power though... Haven't really gotten far enough into my research to figure out the transmission/rear end yet. One of the main reasons I'm here is to see what the rest of you guys are running at high hp/tq. I figured what better way is there than to learn from the experience of others...

Yes, I am... and every time I dream up another hair-brained idea, a kitten dies.
LOL... don't get me wrong. I'm fully aware that it is likely not an option for many reasons.
But I do have access to scrap inconel and have buddies in machine shops that work with it... so cost for me may be less than expected.

LMAO! That would be awesome! Log style, of course, right? I mean OEM style, then just tap off the side with an extra pipe for the Cessna aircraft turbo... maybe modify the undercarriage to run a 5" straight pipe?
Okay, enough of my Dr. Evil dream rambling..... LOL
Seriously, though. It does seem a shame that there are no really good options out there for transmissions... definitely going to have to research that part and see what I can come up with...

Well, I'm not trying to blow the whole load if I don't have to.... I'm just kinda counting on spending an obscene amount of money if I have to in order to get the reliability for a DD. Besides, whatever money I spend is money the wife doesn't get to spend on curtains, furniture, food.... etc...
