Clay, did you think about using the pedal assembly from a '74 or later (but pre-power brake) 911 that has the helper spring on the clutch pedal? |

the 2nd gear strategy is good for more than 150hp. I base this on Allen Johnsen's personal car that he drives in around 8 races a year. I believe that he dyno'd his 2.2/4 at 205hp. And thats a 4cylinder so its a lot more torque than a /6 He told me that he has 3 years on his tranny without having ever opened it. He told me that he won't build a 2nd gear into 1st postition over 200hp. and on a normal 901 with a normal unuseable 1st gear, he won't install the tranny into a race car with over 250hp.... puts 915's into everything over 250hp because its more cost effective over the course of 1 or 2 seasons combined. heck I used to run 150hp through my 901 with the 4 cylinder (somewhere close to it anyways) and only rebuilt the tranny twice in about 12 years. I agree that the 901 has its limits, its just not so fragile that it is impossible to use it if treated right. brant |

It could make a difference. I may give it a try before I go to the hydraulic clutch setup like Rich Johnson has on his tranny. |
