depends wot lb/ft you will be running

as f20, in short, means, it can handle upto 200 lb/ft

^^^^i think that is correct

lol, you pommy bastards are only getting the base spec monaro. The HSV's, SS's and Clubsports are far superior, not unusual to see 500+bhp Commodores and monaros.

thats still only good for 280 l/b torque.

apparently f20's/28s both can hack huge power

But wont last long... depends on driving style, droping the clutch at 7k starts then no but squeezing the power in just right then you'll get a fair few miles outa one...

The F28's are pretty bomb proof. Loads of people run over 300bhp with them without troubles, I dont think I've ever heard of anyone uprating them.

You can try the F20, if you have a mint box and drive sensibly then you might get and it might last. Depends if your going to mind if/when it does give in. Leaving you off the road and searching for a F28. Easier to do things right the first time, and 6 gears are usefull to have.

Id love an F28, for the price of an F28 and the fitting kit i could buy at least 4 F20 gearboxs

I think ill just **try** and drive carefully
