Might have done something stupid again..... Got myself an Astro T5 with "all possible upgrades" including G-Force housing.
Topped it off with a quicktime SFI bellhousing, RAM 900- series disc and a ligthweight pressure plate.

The box alone was 3.300,- That's alot more than a T56 and tons more than a TKO 600... Even a little bit more than a richmond. So, why? Light weight, small outer, direct fit, reliable components for high Hp drag racers, quite OK gear intervals. Hopefully it'll satisfy my needs.

I was thinking of moving up to a 6- speed sequential close ratio box at 3 x price, but that will have to wait until the professional career gets a boost.... (Ha, ha- at the age of 50- who'll bet me in on a race- driver career?)

Thanks
