Fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swaps, 0-100km/h, 400m, 1600m time ? Options

[quick_5hifter]

This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4?
-242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205.

So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission?
(this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

heres the final word.

FWD3SGTE will never touch a GT4 in 1st and 2nd gear. period. GT4 doesn't even need to make half its capable boost to pull away from 1st or 2nd.

assuming both have identical engines, the FWD3SGTE will start reeling in the GT4 in 3rd gear, by the end of 3rd, both cars will cross the 400m line in the same time - high 12 - low 13

if this were a race on the highway where both cars dropped down to 3rd gear, the FWD3SGTE would definitely pull away as the GT4 would run out of puff trying to break through the wind at high speeds.

NOW..... when tuning comes into play.

FWD3SGTE has already used its entire capacity for transfering power to the ground, 3rd gear will spin, even 4th will chirp.

the GT4 still has twice the available traction, and will happily accept a further 100% power increase, maybe 1st will spin from 0-40km/h, but then 3rd and 4th gear will break through the wind and **** all over the FWD3SGTE which has probably already spun out (high speed, high power, low traction)
