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)

None of what anyone has suggested works if you have a loose pinion bearing race. 7 times this year (every box we have taken apart) has had a loose pinion bearing race. The number one failure I have when one shears the teeth off the ring gear.... "loose pinion bearing race" in the case. NO billet plate or billet side cover fixes this issue. Hp is not the problem... torque kills. We put 250hp 3.2's in front of the 901's and they last about 2 years of minor abuse before something starts to fail inside.
