$25K for a tranny is way too crazy. I can either go with Boostlogic for a little more than $3.5K for a 1000hp car, or with IPT for 750hp car. And I only need $10K to make the GS430 or basically any Lexus V8 to make a 1000hp car.

i dont think thats for the tranny i think this is for him to drop off 25k and get a gs430 back with 500 hp? or 1100 hp but im not sure.....and i wouldnt drop that kinda $ on a unknown.

Isn't cowboybebop the one on supraforums doing the v8TT as well? If so, you got a great guide for this awesome build.

Don't know if this question has been asked but how is the clearance from the turbine to the radiator?
No custom intake manifold?
