Belt drive paddel shift 1000 +HP

[BillE]

Cazin you get it. Belt drive has been around a long time, longer than me, this is just my spin on it. Gates engineering did all the math. Mackenzie engineering Is making the parts, I am just putting it together and making the easy parts. As far as the with the CV,s are deep inside the pulleys and it has 8" of travel at the wheel. In this set up we used the full 9" housing. We did not need the thing to be short for this GT it is 17 Feet long . We are working on one the will be shorter than a ZF and lighter and stronger. And paddle shifted. The first 20 will be in can am type cars that will be for rent as track day cars at Thunder hill.

BillE,
Please keep us informed on your progress. I for one would like to know how well it works on the track. Might have to plan a road trip [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif[/img]
On another note, can you post some pics of the shifter and its associated pieces?? I think if most if not just some of us, would improve lap times and/or save a few gears with a paddle setup.I love the sound of one as they go through the gears.

TwistMachine.com is working on the shifter. It will have a PCS controller or we may run a TCI the TCI is a plug and play unit. The PCS is an open architecture and can be programed.So you dont dump it into first at 90
