Looking for a transaxle for my project. I'm putting an LS7 in a 1992 Esprit. The engine will initially be stock but I would like to do some light mods down the road. My engine will make around 550hp and 500ft-lbs with a rev limiter of about 7200. What I'm looking for is a trans that will match the output of this engine well. TI don't plan on tracking this car, it will mainly be used as a "fun cruiser" so its important for me to have a deep overdrive that will let me cruise below 2000rpm on the freeway.
I like how plentiful the porsche boxes are, and that they are 6 speeds but the ratios are not meant for a big torquey engine like I have. There doesn't seem to be any reasonably priced options either. The Mendeola is within my budget but I sorta dislike that it is only a 5 speed. The albins seems like the clear winner, and I love that there are a plethora of different gearsets and ring and pinions that can be installed. The Ricardo's used in the Ford GT's seem like a viable option too but they are so rare. Any other options or insight that I am missing here? I just discovered this forum and have alot more reading to do.\
