+1 Mark at Exotech, had him rebuild mine in February. Great price and my 915 feels incredible now.

For sure Bill Rader in Las Vegas.
Just had him completely clean and rebuild my 915, and added a WaveTrac LSD. Although, if you want something in New England, this might be a stretch for you.

Thank you all for the replies.
Bill Rader would be a great option but definitely a stretch geographically speaking. |

Psup4s, hope you've got a good steer on this.
Matt, know you are to gearboxes what Bill Verburg is to wheels and 3.6s (and annuls upon annuls of cool data). Have you had any experience with Perfect Power here in Chicago? 915 is in good knick but may get some shorter gears in time. Or anyone else for that matter. |

The two shops I work most closely with out there are the Weathered Brothers, Brain and George, at Midwest Eurosport and Eurosport Racing, respectively.

And just to be clear, Mark will also take good care of you. I wasn’t leaving him off. I didn’t mention him because you already had a referral for him. I was adding to the list of shops to call and talk to.

That late aluminum side plate is plenty strong enough even for a race car. But, my race car has Bill Rader Motorsports side cover:
