Go to www.gforcetransmissions.com Look at the gf5r trans. They have a write up and pics of trans split in half that explains it the best.

If a new sanctioning body forms and has coast to coast races, then it would be possible. but as of now it looks like we will be east coast top to bottom. Thanks

I'm not familiar with the rules, but why not have a full tube front and ditch the Honda shock towers?

3/4 chassis modified class style. Required firewall and front shock towers to maintain "factory" look as opposed to the old pro rwd that was full tube prostock style chassis.

Yeah like Roger said. And when you go pro rwd your stuck with the big big cars. The 6cyl cars are going 6.50's now and there gonna go faster. Thats gonna be real tough to do with 4cyl. And if you look at alot of the popular class structures you can race alot more classes when you have 3/4 chassis. Like 10.5 outlaw for domestics. I can do all the local cecil, atco, e-town, MIR, sportcompact, etc. And if I'm feeling lucky i'm also eligible for all the pro rwd classes.
