Well I cant give ya any good karma but all I can tell ya is it a roll of the dice some transmissions will take some abuse others fail fast mine finally failed making a not so big of a pull in the country. I stripped/ shredded 4 th gear to pieces I gotta say the trans did take some major abuse from me at the track , on the street and I had both shifter and clutch issues but all I will say is don't do dumb shit .Use good trans oil , traction bars , slicks at the track , and good suspension will help it a bit "don't wheel hop the car" But I think most of all not being an ass and doing burnouts , ect on the street helps them last a lil longer mine went doing a pull while already in gear not while shifting or burning out .So I wish ya luck I am about to begin another season so I hope trans # 2 holds up as well as trans #1 did if not I will have another trans as we are fixing the first trans and it will be ready to go til I can afford to go all out with a built transmission which is going to have to happen sooner or later .Then I will be able to crank things up a notch

lol thats awesome. yea i am gonna hopefully be able to save up for a trans this winter upcoming and go with ppg or something of that nature.(at least 1st through 4th straight cut and a stock 5th...i still will drive this car to shows..and some uhhh.... "street events" 
got any suspension suggestions or at least what to stay away from?
i was looking over your build thread. i am hoping that i can swing buying sleeves along with everything else i need for the build but we shall see.
unless........i have a stock 50k -ish bototm end that was running minty. my buddy swapped in for a k24.
which brings me to my delimma.....
do i run a stock k20 for a summer to have fun with and buy a k24 to build to holy hell..... or just do the k20.......
im leaning more towards the stock k20 for the summer.... and building a k24 for next year.. but... i really dont wanna make that decision without finding some more info on it.
more so leaning towards a k24 with a modded f22c crank....... get those revs up without added tq... hopefully saving the trans on some level lol

I don't know where your located but I just upgraded my springs to 12K / 18K if you call Road Magnet http://www.roadmagnet.com/ they can suggest springs for your set up and have good customer service .I run their springs and koni yellows along with a full race traction bar and all new poly bushings throughout the entire car .I would not buy suspension or "anything" from one company for sure and I wont mention their name but they are pretty well known for making junk 
.As far as k20 or k24 I love the lil k20 and they are capable of making big power and will take a beating at 8600 rpms all day long .On another note I was unaware I had a build thread lol I never made one to my knowledge just kind of post bits and pieces here and there .

lol than maybe it was just a few selective posts
alright ill look into those. the traction bars and poly everywhere was already planned. i am just trying to make sure the concern was making sure the suspension was the main concern because theres a shop about 20 mins away that are more than capable of scaling/corner weighting it for me so setting it up isnt an issues as long as i can get a appt schedueld for them lol
