Theres a bloke down our way... Frank @ Baycity Automatics in Frankston, Vic. Did my turbo 350 to handle 600hp. Even supplied me with a box from the states! Known him for years.

Abruzzi Racing in the states build some of the best & strongest 400's you'll find... & they're cheap. They range from $699-$899 US for a hell 400.

How do I get one delivered to Oz? Sounds the goods.
B&M boxes are a bit dodgy and to get one to suit 600hp is in the high $3000s

Google their website too, it lists their trans options, you will more than likely be able to use one that's a bit cheaper even.

This is their email:

It would be bloody hard to get a box built locally for the price that Abruzzi builds boxes for! Definately an option worth considering. They've got ads all over For Sale: race & performance cars, engines, engine parts, trailers
