hi steven, norris motorsport used a quaife big tooth gearbox in a 600+ rwd and aslo a 10.5 inch rear diff from a jag. . . im sure mark shead can advise on these boxes.

Ask Dingy about his Quaife, they are over priced garbage by all accounts.

As above,
Tremec TKO 600 with 9" Diff

Take out some life insurance too

Think the tremic is well thought of? Regarding the diff, depends on how you want it to drive? Road use is probably best with the 3.6, but then it may be too low to make the most of the power as you'll end up doing mental speeds in top gear with your rev limit

if i used a 4.4 9 inch diff how would that work.

termic is the gear box by the sounds of it..

thanks steven..

The higher the ratio, the less speed you get in gear, but the faster it'll accelerate. High ratio may = lots of wheelspin with your engine? If you can find out the Tremic ratios theres are speed calculator on the Quaiffe website you can use to see what speed you'll get in gear.

Tremec is a cheap pretty strong option, but is made for lazy V8s so if you like high revs its not exactly ideal. Im sure Breda, black 3 door with 600bhp here in Norway has broken a couple of them. So its hardly the best.

Got my Tremec from here:
http://www.roadcraftuk.co.uk/index.a...ory=Five+Speed

Sure you need to add vat to the price listed..

The ratio's are on that site also so you could use the gear speed indicator on gearbox mans website to see what speeds you will get in each gear with the different diff ratio's

I was speaking with Mark S once and he said that Rod Tarrys Cossie was running on a £1500 American Box, had delt with the power of that car for years, might be worth having a chat with him about Rods box...?

it`s got the weakness lunching in 3gear
He is still running TKO but now with dog rings..
And it`s the 1/4 price of the sellholm.

But most important that with TKO you can use the car as a "every day car"

steve have a chat with dave jackson(jacko???) he is running an elite box i think and he seemed to be doing really well at time attack yesterday.
