All I would be interested in is toughened all round for my power and more torque, trusting the manufacturer to build a good all round spec.

^^I don't get it.

Yeah, grizz, why not stock a couple of ACE converter (or other brand - I still haven't heard anything other than the vaguest feedback about ACE converters). I would personally rather have a 517trans TC.

I think that would really make sense grizz, puts you one step ahead of the others then. I also think having a fully built 517 box in stock would be a great idea!
