#8 Arnesons are great but would be problematic with a transmission set up. The transmissions used is where you get the drop in alignment and they dont like high RPMs that gas engines need. More commonly used in Diesel applications

But that is a project to install correctly and will cost some money. My advise is to build Bravo 3XR drives and change the fluid every 15-20 hrs is your staying with stock horsepower.

I agree stock power 3XR...more than stock Arneson
