Re: (GTRTim)
How about swaping in a honda tranny then... I understand it's not easy, however if that's what it takes to hold the power then why not give it a shot???

probably stock... honda trannies are strong... what makes no sense is quaife honda gears hold power... quaife vw gears can't ... |

Re: (nycvr6)
True, but if the honda tranny is really stronger, then why not give it a shot, or any other tranny for that matter?

Re: (nycvr6)
Justin your right a honda doesn't make as much torque as a vw but... stock honda gears will hold 700-800whp which makes 550-600tq no problem..
Quaife VW gears won't hold 650whp/600tq

Re: (nycvr6)
If it's track only car like Jason Hunt and Brian Ballards yup... you'll go pretty much all season...
If it's tuned on the street doing numerous highway pulls like Cunha's car... you'll break gears every once in a while... but... There stock only thing it really costs you to replace is your time and effort...
Quaife Gears break your lookin at $1000 for new mainshaft + whatever gear broke

we never have problems breaking honda gears. Sometimes the R&P blows up if its not cyro treated and if your running 26" or bigger slicks.
24's tho is pretty much bulletproof. Hell, my buddy is running the stock axles / 730whp / 10.1x 1.5's to low 1.6's 60ft every time.
vw drivetrain just sucks lol. Theres no way to put a honda gearbox on there beacause its on the wrong side of the car, everything is ass backwards.
I'm going for weight reduction and hoping it takes some of the load off the gears.

Re: (fast_a2_20v)
Well Cortney is running 25's... plus i still don't see how his car is making 730whp and only trapping 141-144mph...
As well as the 1.5 to low 1.6 60fts... he's losing time some where if he's actually cutting 60fts that good.
As for the weight reduction method on quaife gears for vw.... better be lighter then 2300lbs, cause they still broke then

Beleive me if you think Serge and Paul are only making 700whp your mistaken they are both in the 900whp range... Cause I know how much power Gary Gardella was making when he was going 175+ ...

| We've got a Pro FWD civic up here that runs stock honda tranny and gears, making around 700whp/500tq, trapping 172mph. |

Tim, were you at the dyno when Serge ran his car and was tuned?
I was there. I know. I am not mistaken.
I'm not going to speak about Paul, cause I'm not sure.
