Exactly what 'box do you have now? Celica?

I would say the Supra box is the way to go until you get really serious with the blown combo.

...agree

I ran a 350hp Holden 6 in an LJ torrie
(ran low 12s at Calder) with an Aussie (wide ratio) box
..blew clutches and diffs
and the odd engine

..never the box

nah its just an old corona box apparently.had a gearbox bloke look at it and said its pretty much identical to the celica one and will handle a bit.i do have a spare aussie4speed in the shed.maybe get it out and chuck it in?
i dont know what sorta power id be looking at yet.anyone take a guess?or have something similar?

the aussie four speed would be the way to go.You will just have to see how the diff gears go you may have to change them
