Project: Lets confuse the hell out of everybody.

[unevolved]

I think the intermediate gearbox is going to be a big hurdle to overcome, and while I hate to say it, possibly the thing that keeps this project from becoming a reality. Very few people have the background in power transmission to design a gearbox capable of reliably holding down 300+ hp in their garage, regardless of how simple it is.

Please don't view this as just another "you can never do it," it's just something I'd be scared of with what I know about engineering.

3 years from the last update on that Busa swap. Some amazing work they did, I wonder what happened.
