OH MY, OMG,(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Had the first test drive in the 3.0 SC turbo engined 914 this morning, I could not evaluate the event as the short gears in the tranny left me no time to check more than one gauge at a time, It feels like I have 4 first gears. 4000 to 6500 only takes a split second on boost and everything is quite exciting at that point. One run I looked at the tach, the other the boost the next the a/r, I am unable to manage much of a look at any of them because I have my hands full just keeping up with the driving duties. I have to take the short gear tranny out as it will not work with this set up, it worked great with the stock 3.0 because the RPM's had time to climb now it does not, once I hit boost I had shift as it's at redline in a split second.
I will stick the stock geared tranny in and deal with swapping out the Quaffe LSD out of the short geared tranny later. Back to the garage.
Oh ya one more thing to add, the car is an absolute monster.
