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? |

If you have up to 280 ft lbs of torque buy a cheap 901. If you have more than 400 ft. lbs. Skip the 915 and go right to a 930. (I learned the hard way when I blew my 915 up!). The difference in price between a 915 & 930 is not that much. I assume that if you are in need of one of these higher priced boxes you have the money to afford it. Personally, it took 7 years to complete my project. If you cannot afford a 930 box, you have no business playing around with big horsepower. You'll blow the 901 up every time and have a junkyard full of 901 boxes littered everywhere. It doesn't take a hell of alot to blow a 915 up either. How much HP and what is your budget? Go from there...and use the search engine...it'll give you great knowledge.
