Spool's are cheap, carbon/carbon clutch I have only seen for 2jz and such but never a honda.

Spool = no u-turns!!

i'll need a TwinDisc soon tho.. they run about $1300 and will hold 900whp+

but Honda Trannies are weak ----, remember they were made to get from one point to another useing the least amount of fuel. Not 9 sec/1000hp passes!

But i have seen a few 800whp cars running bone stock ITR Transmissions, but it think they eventually fail.

all parts that wear will inevitably fail

I can't remember the name but there's a company that makes aftermarket transmissions for drag hondas.. it probably costs a small fortune though

Liberty can mod your trans for a reasonable price I think its like $80 a gear, but I'm not sure how much the slider ring is

yea there are a few that do make them, like "dogbox" and "liberty".. Hence my " paying $5000 for a tranny is scary " statement.

Because thats about how much they cost.
