did you already break that trans or did you just run into a large sum of money .

if i was getting some i would go with synco straight cut first, second, and hylical cut 3rd, 4th. I think they can mix it up.

3gsucks pretty much nailed it. I emailed gearboxtech a while back and thats the exact setup they referenced to me for a daily driver and it will hold around 400-450 whp so i think you'll be good.

I personally would go with a full helical set. I wouldnt want to live with the noise of straight cuts, even though it is cool and it would only be 1st and 2nd. They say straight cuts are stronger, but no ones ever broken either so I dont think youd have to worry much.
