get a 93 ex tranny and pull out the syncros lol and put dog box cut in that ex make sure ur 1 & 2 is long enough cuz if ur going to boost the motor ur going to half to start out in like 3 which is redicilesly idotic if you don't make ur 1&2 longer ull just be spinning tires and burning ur clutch faster ... Trust me a friend of mine built a 490 whp open diff itr motor ... I kno its a b series lol but the fuken dump on that thing was crazy ... Literily he would half to shift frm 1to2 in half a mila sec ... This was just driving daily ... But he was pushin about 32 pounds of boost on two pistons lol ... But if you folks don't baleave me go on you tube and look up team rice brandons ek hatch ull be supprised he spanked a 2jz ... Lol fuck all you haterz hahahaha

a dseries trany is still a "dseries tranny" no matter what you do to it. if your looking for performace, look into b series trannys.

and it has much better gearing stock for stock... and will take ALOT more abuse than a dseries tranny stock for stock.. lsd's are the same price.. i havnt seen a dseries put down enough power yet to kill a stock bseries tranny yet anyway.. hell my buddy is pushing 800hp through his stock gsr tranny, with only treated gears.. its worth the change if it can be done.

HF 3rd/ZC 4th 1.033 is better for 4th in a drag car IMHO, a little bit higher MPH, which you will need at 400whp+

i am searching for ZC 3/4, but who knows if ill find it... :(

the MFactory 1st would be sick as well, better 60's for SURE...
