    How much stronger would gears be when shotpeened?

    My advice... Get a spare trans as planned. Try and take it easy on the trans this year. Slower shifts, easier clutch engagement, ect. That's just doing yourself a favor.
    And last but not least.... Save up for the gears.

    If I run mid 10's I'll shit a brick! My goal is anywhere in the 10's. Even a 10.999999999999. LOL

    BOOM!
