You can look at ours oR any of the sponsors here sites to get and idea of the builds. But in reality it would be your builders call on what to put in the trans, If he does not know what he shOuld be doing as far as kits and parts. Then it would IMO be a serious mistake to have him build it. Not knocking him cause dont know him just IMO.
