How many people have you seen make 400hp for extended periods of time on our trans? All the high-power 3Gs I know were having lots of problems with the transmission handling both power and RPM, stripping gears like it was the trans's job. The F5M42 just isn't made for power.

Here's a good thread about it. Scroll down far enough and you'll see how puny the 3G input shaft looks compared to the Evo input shaft:

Thats why once I started to make good power, I sold the 3g trans with the quaife LSD and upgraded to an EVO trans that I converted for FWD.

You made the right choice. Evo trans is next for me too. Chasing 11s with FWD/stock motor was mostly other people's dream and not my own. I'm ready to take the next step now. No point in investing time/money in a trans I don't plan on keeping
