here is a copy of a email from the trans/shifter builder in regards to what's done to them. This email describes the 3 versions we sell as well as what's done to them. Possibly some of you could figure out what the top speed would actually be with some of the #'s. I was told a 6% reduction at stock RPM's but 260 kph at 7K rpm's :o)

& O yea, he's not to good with english so please take your time :o)

Ok I think I will translate as good as I can the three alternatives how
they are build. The alternatives are all strong cause the ground concept
is strong, but the Evo.2 is stronger in moore things and the Evo.1 and the
Evo.3 is overall the strongest in all matters. The only thing whitch is common for them whitch might be a problem is the third gear and that is the only thing that I think can brake in the ground concept, cause of that are they all prepeared for the special gearset but in different stadiums.

About warranty I can say if there is some fault in the building of the
gearbox caused of me making a mistake it´s no problem, I vill send them
the parts needed. But if someone breakes the 3.rd gear they have to much torque and HP:s this is not a warranty thing and you have to tell them this before they buy a box that the only thing then is to mount the special gearset and depending on what Evo box it is, the other parts needed. The problems whith warranty on gearboxes for modificated cars is that the drivers can be totally crazy in there driving and also having to much force in there engines so the construction overall can´t stand it, but the possibility is not big that anyone have so much HP:s, in Sweden it´s just the worst people that have broke the third gear, and they have extremly high Torque and horsepowers. So I really don´t think we have to worrie about it. And I really think we will get a solution for the problems if there is any???? But you should really test your gearbox soon!!!!!!!!!!!!! All things marked * is differences from the box previous please print it out and underline the differences shown. Grettings Jorgen
