MegaSand with 091 stack = 400 hp
MegaSand with 2d stack = 450 hp


i only posted this because this is all i could find for info on the megasand trans i bought that lance is babysitting for me lol thanks lance!!!!!    i do know mine is the last gen before they closed up shop and a 3 speed. i do know from the previous owner that it does not use the 002 pinnion bearing or atleast he stated that he found an origanal 091 steel german pinnion bearing for it before he sent it in for rebuild. i am happy with these hp #'s since tq #'s follow suit

Sure!
Just as long as you can put up with my goofy neighbor.. He will probably want pics too 

I know this post is old but what!?!?!? Enemy, I know you were not talking about me!!!

well turns out those megasand trans i posted the specs on were the last  2 years they were built. i have two of the older ones even though they were purchased 2 years before they went under according to the guy i bought them. he had a new rail built and they built it with this the megasand. but he did have a 355 chevy v8 bolted to it for 12 years so it should..... handle my turbo 2.3. the other one is rear engine only and also had a 355 v8 for 12 years and both with u joint shafts.

also .....budlight......doug said he liked your shifter so could you tell me which one you have and post a pic?

here are  few pics of the black on thats going in mine. it's a 3 speed mid engine and the shifter that came with it. the other is a broken one i bought at the same time that needs a r&p. i found the new parts just waiting to take it to shane to have him look at the gear stack to make sure the debris didn't get into them.

according to mark at marks sand trans , rancho trans, wright gear box and weddle they all said they are 300 ft tq trans at best and also said all megasand trans are except the real early ones which are weaker. now these aren't the real early ones i know that one for sure. scott told me his bud bo is running the real early one and he has a built 2.3 running higher boost as in 30's range and it has taken it for a number of years in st a so i'll find out. dougs is a 4 speed mid and has handled 21 psi for several years now w/o issue. other than that no real info out there other than what scott has told me and fast has told me about personal use which i believe them over gd posts lol

Mine is a Fortin shifter for a 5 speed.  They also make one for a mid engine application.
