A standard lux box is strongish if it is in good condition to begin with and you don`t go driving silly.

Alot of people kill the lux boxes when they drop V8`s in because they only drop the V8 in after the rig has done high ks and the standard motor dies.

I`m not in anyway saying they are strong but they can handle it if you want them to.

I have used my standard 5 speed for now but do have plans on going a stronger one later on down the track.


Same goes for the diffs
