    What gearbox with what power/torque

    Hi Spike. If you really are going to get that sort of horsepower then a Quaiffe or G50 is the only really safe option. The Renault UN1 can be strengthened with some expensive shafts but they have a weak 5 th gear. The Audi 01E I don't believe is any stronger but like all these things its about...

    Radiator bleed with EWP
