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) |

LS1/Audi 01e 6 speed here. Behind an LS6, I would probably avoid the 901. Seems the best route these days, is the Boxster 6 speed, though I don't know how well the gear ratios work out. On my setup, I'm using a QuarterMaster 8 1/2" clutch with bronze/ceramic friction material. Pedal effort is very friendly due to the aggressive disc material; very prone to chatter so it takes some finessing to get it engaged smoothly. What I love the most about the LSx motors, is the driveability of a full on EFI/management system.
