A late 915 will handle a 3.6/3.8 without a hicup, just saying.

And you know this from personal experience?

From my experience, a late reinforced 915 will be fine w/ a 3.6 that is adult driven, a 3.8 not so much, I could make mine weep(literally) in any of the 3 lower gears

Just wanted to follow up on this thread I started. I ended up sticking with 3.6 and having it tuned by Rasant Products in Long Beach, CA. They did a great job. Car runs really well. The only change I am looking to make now is switching the shifter to something that will place it a little higher and forward so it does not sit against the my leg when in 2nd gear. Saw someone advertising a custom shifter the other day so looking in to that. Thought about a CAE shifter but that seems to be a can of worms I probably don't want to open. Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the shifter positioned properly? I also have the rebel racing raised shifter tunnel which helps a little but still not quite where I want it to be.







I can't imagine having only one of these. Love them both.

What kind of power and torque did you end up with? What ECU did you use?

I was not expecting that much power gain out of it, but the car pulls strong enough for me to believe those dyno numbers. Engine management is with MoTec M84. Weighed in at 2399 pounds.
