    seems like they are doing some cool stuff over at the GC forum, also remember reading about some guys replacing the rear end with a dana or some thing like that.

    Thats cool!..

    As a RWD vehicle, I don't think I will *EVER* get the same power to the ground as those Jeep guys can... so I am not to worried...

    I am glad its 600+ HP that is doing nuking tho! I have some room to grow!

    Has anyone actually broken one of our trannies yet. I'm thinking our driveshafts might actually be the next weak link after the upgraded axles.

    Yep, I believe different vendors are making 650hp, 800 hp and 1000hp halfshafts. Its nice to know though that there is a company out there that is willing to upgrade our transmissions. Hmm, wait, do we even have the same transmission as the jeeps? the more I think about it I think not. maybe someone can chime in on this?

    is it another Mercedes transmission? Renntech is doing the work on it and they are Mercedes specialists aren’t they? I would bet that if they can work on the GCSRT trans they could work on ours as well.
