scot was saying $2000-3000 tops.915 yes, 930.....NO.

im using a subaru turbo boxer engine. my 915 already has an 8:31 r&p (3.875 to 1) which will match my power band well. in my case low compresion,small displacement and turbo lag will love any short first gear.on second gear my engine will be on full boost and will welcome a tall ratio.

sure a 930 box is great but can you afford one?

i personaly like the subaru engine because its smooth, quiet, wheighs under 250 lbs and it mimics the original design of porsche
by configuration(flat four) and low center of gravity. you can get a new factory ej22t short block from subaru for only 1100.00. these engine's crankshafts are so tough that they can rev up to 9000+ rpms without failure.my set up should be putting out about 325 hp. below 6300 rpm.

i can understand why you would favor a 930 box for a v8 drag car.
