Kinda Pricey, I like the Jerico style. Is there anything around the $2000 price range anyone knows about?

G-Force T-56. even stock T-56's have been proven to handle tons of power and take an incredible amount of abuse.

Its said that the stock T-56 can handle like 450lb-ft torque and maybe a little bit more. The Geforce T-56 should do quite a bit better than that even.

tremec's richmonds etc.

there are people running around on tko II's making that kind of power, although they are rated at 525ft/lbs, so at that point i wouldnt call it bulletproof

the new tko 600 is nice, rated for 600 ft/lbs....around 2000 bucks

if your building a 572 with 700hp you better get something good....


if you don't want to fork out the dough don't put the 572 on there

dude, 700's are autos!

by the looks of the vehicles in your sig, i would suggest doing ALOT of research before you buy stuff. that way you don't look like you have more money than brains. which is the way it looks right now.
