We are small peanuts in this scene. Whats going to effect the pricing on them is the fact that there are already adapter kits available for 2JZ, LS, Coyote, Miata, K series, I think F series is being worked on, and I saw some guys working on rotaries. Once these swaps become more "discovered" in the US, I predict that its going to be a bread and butter surgery across many platforms. I think that a conversion like this is going to become essential to keep the tuner car performance relevant for another decade, if it hasnt already. For those of you who have not already experienced what this type of transmission does for a car, I am excited for you. It is unimaginable how much fun it is, and how much consistently quicker the car becomes. This is huge performance being left on the table that no amount of HP gain can collect. I believe that with this transmission conversion, we will be able to see a 370z run a 9 second 1/4 mile with less than 700whp, and maybe even on 18" wheels.
