Any info is welcome. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most big shooters are going for a BUILT TH400 or Similer box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do a bit of reading on some of the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause who doesn't want 2spds and sh*thouse economy in their modern day street car.Seriously though would be awesome if somebody came up with a straightforward way to fit the zf to the older b's as they are taking some pretty decent power these days, and they will get better. Put it this way, pretty sure a glide couldn't handle 1000hp + when they were tooled last melenium.Sent via carrier pigeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have also been able to handle well in excess of a 1000hp + in built form for many many moons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
