In general, these engines will produce more horsepower than torque and require gearing to take advantage of their top end pull.
Me and a couple of friends are designing a new gear set for the 915 gearbox. (1st and 2nd, high gearshaft included) So we can get it exactly the way our engine wants it!
And again, simply because we can, and it's way too expensive to go out and buy!
