I'm still on the fence....Spoke with John Williamson(OTTO) and he said he has run 380hp against a modified 901 for 7 years(hates the 915). Spoke with Roger Sheridan and he said he now has a modified 915(x $14,000) and it works OK .... but previously used a 901 with problem. Both men preferred the 901 box! (modified with 904 main shaft and intermediate plate of course...weakest area=ring & pinion). My goal is to use either a 3.6 or modify my 3.0L to get ~300-320hp. Adding torque to the 901 box is a factor, I know but? Any opinions appreciated......... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
