Matt,
The stock ribcase will not take that kind of horsepower, nor will the stock
clutch (it might on the street, but not on the track). A factory straight cut
box will be close; Jeff Porasik blew one up this year with an alleged 137 HP
(his car goes to the dyno in a few weeks). The Tilton setup is Tilton pressure
plate and multi plate disk setup with a hydraulic throw out bearing that goes
with the Richmond/Taylor/Webster setup. If you've seen what looks to be a
ribcase gearbox with a hydraulic line going into the top access hole, that's a
Tilton hydraulic setup. Peter C. tells me it's a Saab TO brg. The mechanical
part looks like this:

(OK, so I CAN afford the clutch setup).
Be careful out there -
Ron
