hi all, i have a full reco box , cooler, transgo Hd-2 kit, and vette 2/4 servo...not looking at making 1000hp+ but it will cop abuse pretty often....id like to make it as reliable as possible...can someone please put me in some directions please? iv heard about the 5 pinion planeterys, but upon looking am confronted with fron and rears...on a semi tight budget (willing to whip out but cant sink thousands into the box)...which is a neccesity for this type of application?
