That's pretty darned good advice. 300hp in a 2200# car won't put much strain on the trans or clutch, even if you drive it kinda hard on the street. Stock T5, stock flywheel, stock BH, and a decent clutch will be light weight, relativly inexpensive, and last just about forever.

Personally, I would not use a toploader unless it was a 1/4 mile track only car. And even then, I would have to think about that pretty hard. I like an OD gear a lot.
