Didn't the ebay listing mention something about "THE SHORT GEARED (HILL CLIMB RATIOS) 915 TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT AND HAS THE RS LIMITED SLIP !"??? If you you really had those gears, you could most likely hit 8500 RPM in top gear in an S, but you'd be doing only about 120 mph. I don't have a 915 gear chart, but in the 901, the top hill-climb gear is a 23/28 (one tooth off from the chart shown above) which with a 7:31 CWP gear tops out at 101 MPH at 8000 RPM.
