Bill,

I feel this is the most overlooked aspect of a motor upgrade on a track car. I have a friend with a 3.6 conversion on a track dedicated car mated to a 915. He has broke gears on two different occasions.

That being said. What HP do you feel is the max on a track car with a 915? (DE only not racing). I don't feel this is off topic and actually a very important equation when considering a motor upgrade with a 915.

I am also considering a motor upgrade (track use) to mate with my 915. If I remember correctly the 3.2 euro's with a 915 had a tranny cooler. Rough HP I believe was in the 230 range. Maybe a 3.2 with 964 cams, headers, chip & a tranny cooler?

Thanks,
Jim
