[QUOTE="5150Mustang, post: 12437011, member: 92500"] ^ I hear ya, I am just making an attempt to explain that there are some more cost efficient methods to building a short block. let me say this from my stand point. I manage a Transmission Shop here in middle-of the styx-Kentucky, and I build cost efficient Transmission, WHY ? because my tranny's are not stuck behind 1500hp cars second of all we are not some mega high dollar race shop with more money than have have sense. that being said if a customer comes to me I try me damn best to build him what he/she NEEDS for what they are DOING, which always saves money. so if you are building a 700hp car I am going to build you a OD trans or 3 speed which ever you like to handle that power range, not some mega giant stupid trans that will hold 1000hp plus. the cost difference is outrageous. . .same with these motors, if you want to hang out around650-700 go with the boss junk it will work just fine. Thats what I am getting at the right part for the right application, longevity and wallet wise. Now I understand that alot of folks like to use the words "bullet proof" and such and use that as a thought process to spend giga bucks on overkill parts, NOT NEEDED, if we would get in the mind set of "buying that the **** you need" than we would probably see alot more low 10 second 11-13 model cars on here and happier customers that dont feel like that got raped just to make their car hold the minimal boost application or nitrous they have been wanting out of the DD street cars. END RANT thanks, Michael [/QUOTE]
