unless you have a line on one with an aftermarket main case, mine as well go TKO. $3k for a built T5 is a lot of dough. if your pushing that much power to need all that I hope you already have an explosion proof bell. if not thats more money, probably easier to find a used TKO for way cheaper like I said before .............
unless you have one lined up for a deal.
