possum Donating Members 553 Member For: 15y 6m 1d Gender: Male Posted 04/01/13 07:02 AM Share Posted 04/01/13 07:02 AM In comparison to other workshops offering ZF builds with billet shafts etc? I can guarantee we are doing things inside these gearboxes that others wouldnt even think to do. We have continuously evolved our products over time and in saying that GLOUVA's fastest Fg xr6 turbo in the country doesnt even have the latest spec build trans!Have you priced up a powerglide conversion with all the fruit?

John sounds like you should have got cms or nizpro to build your box. Robbie was ok 3 years ago but sadly fallen well behind what other shops are doing. Who doesn't want 6 gears and 9 sec passes?"."

What we've put it through it did well. Our major problem is that we hit a software issue that noone could work around not to mention that the price of a built box that is untested at the level we're gonna be playing at wasn't something I wasn't willing to bank on. With our mechanical and turbo combo we need a larger stall than what's possible or available for the zf so that was another major negative towards pursuing the zf route any further.
