Have you ever bothered to consider that you do not hold exclusive rights to knowledge.
You might do well to remember this. Try for once realizing your audience might know as much or even more than you do.

Don't kid yourself, extra robustness costs money. If you've worked with any of the 'big' three you'll know that they are the last to spend it!!

WHo gives a rat fuck what you are spewing? If you want your Tremec T56 to with stand 1000bhp. you give it and $3500 to RPM-Transmission (just one of many engineering firms) and they retrun it to youstrong enough to withstand 1000bhp drag launches.
Again - please get a cle befor eyou try educate people.

Wsn't that "comaprison" based on "impressions" and not actual tests and numbers?

As much as you claim to know all - perhaps you might want to take a trip to Decatur Indiana and tell the folks at LPE that what they build cannot be done and they must be liars and cheats because you say its not possible.

That is you ropinion.
And by Christ I will have an opposite view if I want.
But lest we forget, you and a bunch of other losers want to reserve JW for their own unique opinions and refuse to allow opposing view points.
