Keep up the good work!
For that purpose, it would be excellent. Russel does dragrace with a 915 in his 450 hp IRS bug, so even that would be no problem.

Personally I think with all the right bushings in your shift-rod couplings and the factory short shift kit, these boxes can be made to shift very quickly. At least quickly enough for my taste/purpose I'am sure.
Ever asked about any G50 parts prices?
I choose this 915 tranny very carefully (weight, CV-size, gearing, cost) and after much thought about the subject

I will put a lot of new parts in it, but not everything ($$). Also because I'am not sure if it would make a noticeble difference if all wear parts would be new.

Thanks for the moral support; i will probably be needing it when I put everything back 'in umgekehrter Reihefolge'
