Full Version: Whats The Next Step Up From The 2d?
Exactly what the title says. I want a reverse that will actually holdup and a trans that can take some jumps and some whoops with a motor in the 500hp give or take 50hp range.

Isn't breaking your 2D all part of the "new rail owner" experience? You're not living till you been pulled out of the big stuff by Mike at Sweet Maries........
Well I have the Newstar in it now and a 091. The 091 lasted 30 minutes! Thats a long story and me and a certain builder are at odds over it. As soon as I get my 091 back, EVERYONE on here will know the story. So thats why i am looking into going the route I should have gone in the first place. The Newstar just isnt enough at this altitude and I dont want to have to pay for race gas with a turbo on it but might have to go that way. But the real story behind selling it all right now, as you can see in my signature, is my wife and i are buying a business and i hope i can sell the motor and trans fast to help with the funding. Then once the business is going, THEN I can put in the car what i want to and i want to do it RIGHT this time. I am going to look at Fortin, PBS, and a Jeff Fields Auto as well. I guess Funding when i crack the whip will ultimately determine what i end up with but I know I have had enough taking my car apart and putting it back together, I want to drive the damn thing and not wrench thus no P.O.S. 2D!

If you can afford the S4, you can buy the used Fortin in the For Sale section.

It had to be all stock right?
Well for that matter I would stick to the s4 and even lean to an S4D, what exactly did you break in the 091? I should also mention that no matter whos gearbox you go with the driver has alot to do with how long the gearbox lasts. Do not forget to also compare cost of repairs and common items. Feel free to call me I can give you the skinny on our S4. 619.710.8800 ext 109

If I wasnt doing the business thing, it would already be on its way here. I cant believe it is still for sale. makes me wonder about some peoples intelligence on here.
To answer the questions on the 091. NO it wasnt stock it was fully built with supposedly everything that could just about been do to it. It was completely desimated internaly, even broke the case. Trust me, like I said due to costing me 1200 to get fixed, EVERYONE on here will know exactly what happend.
A 2D should hold up fine for a Shortstar....

WOW ... I have a lot of HP going to my 091 and she keeps on going. I'm real interested in knowing how you waisted it. What kind of HP in the Newstar?
