In the theme of go big or go home ..
Is an LS6 TOO much motor (torque) for a daily driven 914? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Would a 901 be a complete waste of time? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

901 would be a waste of time. It shifts like crap and doesnt like to much TQ.
Also the gearing is Horrible for a v8. Everyone I know that has done a LS / Audi swap is still driving the cars... You dont see many/any swapped cars or conversions kits on the market because the setup works, and works well. At that power level there is a lot more needed for a complete package than just a stronger trani, but I am sure you know that. |
