Hi Keith The helical synchromesh ZFQ is rated in standard form at 600BHP and 550ftlb we have many cars in this region of power. With the new Superfinishing option and straight cut dog engagement version of the ZFQ running an oil pump and cooler then I think the upper level will be...

Hi guys I am now taking orders on the next batch of 10 sets. (could be the last batch this year because of Foundry issues). Regards Chris.

Hi Leo what is your target weight for the finished car? I suspect it will be close to 1750lbs? which will give you a great power to weight ratio. regards Chris.

Hi Chris I was commissioned by Ford to produce the Mk11 rear for the Goodwood main display cars a few years ago I personally had to create the MK11 clip in question over several weeks, because there were no MK11 body sections in the UK at the time. If you think that KVA GTD and the rest...

My MK11 tail sections keep getting copied they must like them regards Chris.

Hi Mike I would run the tallest tires 60 profile would be good giving you a rolling radius of 26" + if possible as you have a large horspower car, we also recommend running the transmission in for at least 500 miles before you go crazy, it allows everything to bed in nicely. Quaife...

Hi Kirby sounds like your friend is building a drift machine? is he Japanese? I guess he could have just gone the hole hog and put in a Turbo jet from an F16. I think you will see him get his door blown off the first time he gets it on the track by cars with half the horspower that are...

Hi Paul I find your project very interesting and understand your requirements for an out and out performance package, I would be interested to see photos showing the installation especially the front of the engine. I guess the alloy engine will reduce the all up weight of the car but will...

Hi Jack The Ricardo wont fit your SPF it will stick out the back. regards Chris.

Hi Jac Fortunately the 910 transaxle would put the engine in the cockpit and the drivers feet in the radiator of a GT40 if you kept the wheels in their current location. So no worries about redundancy, my point is getting the weight distribution right and not to build a car that handles like...

Hi Guys This is a good thread www.gt40s.com/forum/can-am-racers-917s-etc/28220-909-bergspyder.html it illustrates Porsches answer to keeping the weight between the wheels. Porsche were so conscious of the handling gains achieved by good weight distribution that they moved the differential and...

Hi Lynn 25Kg = 55Lbs that more than a bit. Plus you don't need six speeds when you have this amount of torque. That's why a lot of the guys go for the Porsche 930 4 speed. Its also interesting to note just how many Ford GT's have come to grief already. look at this lot...
