<x-charset ISO-8859-1>:) At the very least get a super differential (super diff) and a Stage I clutch kit from Kennedy Engineering. The stock tranny was engineered for stock torque. Bump up the torque and you'll definitely want to bump up the tranny. If you drive like a granny it should be okay for a while but I don't think the clutch would last as long, thus the need for a hi-po system. Best thing to do is contact a performance tranny builder (Ranchero is good), tell 'em the power output of the engine and you'd like your tranny beefed up appropriately to handle the extra power. Not sure about prices because it depends what needs to be done but I'd guess $500-$1000 for stock gearing.
