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) |

The LS motor's can be driven as tame as you like. I drove an ls3 with a 901. Same as everyone says. 901 can be used if driven smart. Roll on the speed don't drop the clutch & your good.
Having said that. Why add a sick motor & stick with the old time shifting 901 that wasn't made for the power. The Audi six speed you will not regret. Don't do the conversion half way. Go all out & do it right |
