Ok Guys, what do you think....
Want to get a racing tranny for my track car with Sebring in mind. What's the best set-up? Is a LSD a good idea? Quaife? How about a cooler? What's an intermediate plate? Thanks for the all the help, I'm really green with trannys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Ok Guys, what do you think.... Want to get a racing tranny for my track car with Sebring in mind. What's the best set-up? Is a LSD a good idea? Quaife? How about a cooler? What's an intermediate plate? Thanks for the all the help, I'm really green with trannys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There's an excel worksheet titled "914 901 gear ratio sheet" by Greg Braun you can find the link here: http://www.914world.com/specs/regearing_901.php It'll really help you noodle out the options. FWIW, I'm running 2 cars at VIR which has a 4000' back straight with some uphill in it but a slow entry (Oak tree, about 40mph). I re-geared my /4 which has a Raby kit 2316 weighs 2200# and puts down 165rwhp redlined at 6200 running Star Spec 225/50/16's to the budget build of A/F/KA/S/Z by flipping 5th and 3rd and buying an S for 4th (thanks Dr. Evil) and don't run out of revs on the straights. My /6 which has a 2.7 RS spec engine weighs 2000# and puts down 185rwhp redlined at 6800 running 225/45/15 Toyo RA1's is using stock gearing but the tire diameter is about 5% smaller and don't run out of revs on the straights either. Before I re-geared the /4 I found 5th gear too tall to provide any real acceleration--now it's a perfect match. If you can grab a spare tranny, send the gear stack to Mike (Dr. Evil) to have him do the budget re-gearing & try it out....I think your car will like it! |
