I have been watching this thread carefully, as my build will no doubt need a special tranny to take full advantage of the powerband.

you know, decarbonated beer is a better coolant than the stuff you buy at the auto store, and is better for you...... really

What's the tallest geared transmission? Cuz this 020 4S sucks. 100km/h in 5th at 1300 egt and 6 psi is not fun.
Ditto. Im running an ASF in an 80 Caddy. 1st is useless but the rest is great.

For a drop-in 020 tranny, look for an ACN (or AON, ASF, or ACL, all the same) It has a 3.67 final, and a .75 5th.  Tallest 020 there is.

1st:  3.45
2nd: 1.94
3rd:  1.37
4th:  1.03
5th:  .75

I have this box in my Wife's car, the drop from 1st to 2nd is a bit long, but 2-3-4 is really nice in town, and it purrs along nicely in 5th on the open road.  1st is too short to build boost (with a big turbo, hehe) and 2nd is too steep to launch from, but I didn't build the car to drag race, and I don't think my Wife is going to do too much street racing.  :P
