Now I know why Quaife were a bit vague when I was talking to them at the NEC and also by phone the following week.
30 mph/1000 revs is a nice cruising speed for top gear for a road car but is not much use for racing except for a small number of circuits, but if there is a large choice of ratios or if they are easy to change it would allow people to spec the box for what they want.
There seems to be two different views with respect to engines for GT40's some going for high power/high revs and some going for high torque/low revs, this is why I think a wide range of ratios would be useful.
