RE: Tranny upgrade options?

[josh Wyte <josh_wyte@yahoo.com>]

The 020 tranny had no problems at all holding my G60
engine with 180 hp and 185 ft lbs of torque at the
wheels, so over 200 hp and 200 ft lbs...  Tranny was
solid, clutch was a stock 16v and grabbed perfectly...

Don't worry about the 020 tranny, it'll be
bulletproof, particularly after the quaife is
installed.
