Re: best tb

For a 52mm unit your best bet would be to have a stocker rebored it will be cheaper than the BBk(half the price) and you will not have any issues that some have with the BBK. There are a number of places that can do this I know od one regular on forum goes by NOMAD maybe he will pop in.

I second that. If i was going to go with a 52mm i would just have the stocker rebored.

Re: best tb

Might email him about it but I think he is going to suggest starting with a 93 TB.
Might want to think about that tranny thing a bit, the most builders rate their all out builds on the 200 and 4L60E at the same 800hp and the 4L60Es easier tuning will result in a faster car if tuned right, not to mention it will be a whole lot easier to make work since it was at least a stock tranny in this car.
