If you are looking far enough ahead for the 3.6L engine and then some time putting a turbo on it then you'll need the G50 with limited slip. You could use a flipped Turbo transmission as that is what the 914 Bonneville car had and some seriously tall gears such as 95 in 1st, 145 in 2nd, 185 in 3rd and it was calculated to go 205 on 4th but always spun out since they were not allowed a wing. If you are going to go much over 120 then you'll need some downforce and larger wheels/tires and much better than stock suspension AND brakes! A seemingly small item that can pose a headache is the stronger axles and CV joints you'll need since the stock ones will never handle the power. Andy has his pretty much setup for a hot street car with some auto-x use so that would be the way to go with his parts list.
