I'm not totally sure if it'll give you similar results to what you want, but have you ever tried taking out the final reduction in the kit FP gearbox and running a new output from that? It works pretty fast depending on how your lift is setup. We used it on a pretty large output though in 08 so not sure how different it would work with your lift. http://mortteam11.myrobotics.info/ph...ery/000015.jpg The two FP boxes were modded and then coupled together. Just a suggestion for a quick lighter lift gearbox. it does get hot though :/

Hope your BBs come in on time! I'd like to see another regional win from 1771! Good luck.
