Hello,
So my situation is that I'm going up to Chico for school and want something with higher gearing. I have a 914 w/ a 350 putting out about 280hp/330tq. I was considering doing a 915 but it seems that it wouldn't be much of an upgrade to the 901. A 930 would be nice and I'v heard that the gearing is good for a v8. A G50 seems really expensive and really overkill. I would like to do as much of the work myself so that I can keep the cost down. So I would like to know what is entailed in doing the different transmissions, the issues with the different ones and what needs to change. Thanks. Paul '72 5.8 918 |

No Worries Steve,
Brad, let's not let the tail wag the dog, we have success with our R&D process and that means it will run pretty slowly compared to the enthusiasm of the potential market, but I appreciate you fielding those calls and leaving my time free to actually work on the R&D... thankyou. FYI an equivalent Hewland Transmission to a 930 unit would be the DGC, a cool $20,900 with a LSD. Our solution will be road car oriented (unlike the DGC) but the competition capability of the 930 unit is also widely understood. Regards Hayden PTBT |
