he has a MTX all he needs is an LSD and wouldn't need to worry about anything else.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

And yet I see mtx owners doing much more than a LSD all the time,, I recently saw warmonger talking about his tranny and future work it may need.... oo but I'm probably wrong.

So when you go only 50hp or so over 300hp than you need more?

More than 150whp and wheel hop can be a serious problem. While the tranny would need only a Quaife to hold 400+hp, getting that power to the ground is the problem. Even with 400+HP, Turbo Tom is barely doing low 12s because of the poor front wheel traction. He's gone to a custom ATX to try and get better times. But with an LSD, Koni adjustibles, solid/solidified motor mounts, and GC's and that should fix the wheel hop and give you the best traction a FWD can get.

I was talking about the stock tranny, but Turbo Tom says the 6spd is doing over 300whp with a Quaife, just the LSD for that tranny costs around $300 more than the stock 5spd.
