but i have one question... with 800 foot pounds of tourque... who needs a transmission?.. all you really need is a PG, and gear it for 200 mph in second and you can still 120 mph burnouts by mashing the throttle..
this would be my theory, with that kind of power you could just re-gear for the disired speed and not give up too much on the bottom due to the huge power. might not even be a bad thing to tame it on the bottom end with the gears because I cant imagine you have a great deal of traction when taking off with the curent setup.

and re-gearing would probably be the cheapest too and you get to keep your bulletproof t400

good luck with wich ever you decide.
