Never got around to it (money), but I'm curious what will be used here -- more of a "rally" gear set or a close-ratio?

Can't wait to see the finished product.

P.S. Wonder what GT would charge for those G50/10 cogs...
This car is keeping it's original 915 gearbox. It's getting my 930 Pro LSD and some strength upgrades. Joey and I spoke about a short ratio ring and pinion but at this point they haven't gone with one. I don't think they will need to when it comes down to it. Project Nasty has one, but that's a different sort of beast.

G50 5spd gears are $1200 each for 3&4. 5th runs $1050. 915 gears are quite a bit less expensive at $825 a pair.

Regards,

Matt
