[QUOTE="FSUstang, post: 11938088, member: 108084"] After getting to attend a few drift events and talking with the pros, I would suggest keeping your original plan of the turbo big block, that way you can adjust boost on the fly, because you may only need that 675hp on one track, but another track with a higher entrance speed into turn one may require more power to get the angle you need to smoothly slide through the whole corner. No amount of power is too much when it comes to drifting. Daigo Saito has a 900hp 2JZ in his Lexus that he hits with an additional 300hp worth of nitrous. As far as trannys go, I would recommend going with a NASCAR style 4 speed if you can afford it; tall gears, and a proven bulletproof design. For the rear, that 9 inch is gonna do you just fine, but I know Vaughn Gittin and Justin Pawlak have a quick change capability with theirs to allow for expedient ratio changes to cope with different tracks and scenarios. In terms of balance, that motor should do you just fine if you mount up most of your external components in the rear (battery, intercooler, radiator if you can, etc.) Terminators make great drift cars out of the box, so if you can keep the balance close to stock, you wont have any problems. Hope this was helpful. And props to you for sliding this car man, I'm gonna be right there with you after I graduate. [/QUOTE]
