I am about to install my 3.2 engine and it is being paired with the 901. I was wondering if the 901 need to be regeared or use heavier gears for this application or is the standard gearing fine?
Any other things that should be considered? It will be for street only. |

What Perry talks about is pretty much the extreme; LSD = more stress on the tranz guts. It worked well for him and I would not hesitate to do the same. You can save some money and weight by pitching 1st gear. If the slider is in good shape, you can sell it for a few $$$ and cover other parts. At least, that is what I do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) HP is not the killer, TQ is when it comes on too fast (burn outs, etc). Stock /4 gears will be fine. I have built 901 boxes for race 3.0 engines that have not missed a beat.
Come to think of it, I have never had a box come apart in a non-stock application. Has anyone here first hand experience with blowing a box with a bigger motor??? I have not seen that happen if the CVs are stack as they break first. Just my "limited" experience, YMMV (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
