What does it take to beef up a 901 assuming it is in good condition to begin with? Can it be made to handle more power? These are the questions dancing in my head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

you can replace the intermediate plate with one that's made of a little stronger alloy, and today's bearings and lubricants are better than they were 30 years ago.

Porsche felt it had reached the end of its run with the 901 when 911's grew to 2,4 liters and about 175 lbs-ft of torque (torque is the limiting factor...) they asked themselves how they were going to beef up the 901 -- and the 915 was the result, and when it started reaching its design limits, the 915 begat the 930, which begat the G-50.

how MUCH power (torque...) are you looking to handle ? if it's really a lot, you will find your answer elsewhere ...
