What Hewland box are you thinking of using? The Mk9 (VW case) and the FD200 are only rated at 150lb.ft torque. The alternative quoted is the FTR that is still only rated at 240lb.ft and I would expect that your Pauter would develop more than that. The other thing is that most of the competition 'boxes have dog clutch engagement that is a noisy pain on the street. You might be better off with a G50 + oil cooling that'll just about handle the torque although it'll need some chassis mods.
