What are the V8 guys using. I know a guy locally who runs a Hewland 5 sp. What does everyone else run?
And do you guys all align your engines laterally? |

What is a 901 "rated" at? What's the most power the factory ever put in front of or behind one? It seems to me they have been known to survive with something like double the torque they were designed for. If the boxster trans is rated at 280 ft-lbs, shouldn't there be some headroom there too? Or do they really design them with no capacity left these days? I will be using a 901 with H gear, rebuilt with mostly used parts (the best from 6 transmissions) and a homebrew electric pump, filter and cooler. My LT1 is rated at 325 ft-lbs. Only time will tell! |
