NA 6 port half bridge build (zenki FC)

Kinda depends on power too
I want about 300 ish to the wheels. But i dont want the long winded gears from the stock tranny.
Id like to eventually use a RX8 tranny, can they handle 300 at the wheels?
But ill prolly go for a modded NA tranny
I doubt Ill have any kind of power any time soon, and it gonna take alot of fab to get a RX8 tranny in there. oh well
Prolly should get my blinkers and logicon workin first eh

kinda sorta, but not really.

the ribcases are "stronger" simply because they were built to handle more torque. they can take more abuse. however, there are plenty of N/A units living behind high horsepower/high torque engines and they hold up for years! however, if they are abused they don't seem to fare nearly as well. that's why i said it will depend on how you plan to use it.

for the Rx-8 tranny, i know that a lot of guys run the stock tranny in their turbocharged 8s, but i honestly have not paid any attention to if they were blowing them up, and if so, how often. so i really don't know. what i will say about them is this (and this is just my opinion), it's probably not worth it based on the ratios alone and definitely not without the Rx-8's rear end (or similar final drive).

Brian put around 500hp little less torque on a Rx8 6 speed and its still alive. You drove my car with the ACT HD PP and Street Strip disc so you know the feel of that a little.
