oh - shoulda read page 2!!!

still, the argument fails on reliability grounds...

it will still be cheaper to get a custom 6 speed dog box built in the states than have to engines popping appart at 10krpms

this is simple logic.

if the guy wants to rev to 13'000 rpm then good for him, but there are better ways to solve his 'problem' besides BLATANTLY reducing engine reliabilty...
