I've been running my race car with a 901 for five years. First three years were with a 3.0 and last two with a 3.4. I've rebuilt the gearbox twice in five years - once due to a R&P failure and once due to 4th gear failure. I know I'm probably exceeding the limits of the 901 but they a cheap and plentiful. My gear sets have been A,F,M,S,X and A,F,M,S,Y. Rear tires are 275/45/16 Hoosiers which are about 25.5 inches in diameter.
