That would be a dream transmission set. I have a good friend of mine with a true SPOON SPORTS transmission , and was offered 3500usd for it last week. He laughed and turned it down. Keeping it for his exoskeleton car he's building.

I pulled the trigger and they are intalling it this week while i am overseas. Probably $1200-1500 installed in the car. They are going to also let me know what the final drive is as i am a bit worried about top speed. That car was easily able to hit 120mph a 1/4 of the way down the straight away last time it was on the track. Maybe i can make it up in the truns with the better gears.

Mjalaly is better off with what he has.
BTW. Here are your SPOON SPORTS Transmission Gear ratios official (I think you posted that in your chart already if I'm not mistaken)
1 = 2.533
2 = 1.944
3 = 1.590
4 = 1.280
5 = 1.033
Final drive is based upon the transmission it came from. SPOON SPORTS doesn't change that.

Man that tranny feels waaaaayyy better and the car is really alive now. The revs don't drop when shifting gears and the response is a night and day difference. I can see this being a great track set up.
Not sure what the final drive is but it definitely has a much lower top speed. I am going to do a small mountain drive tomorrow to get a good feel for the transmission since I won't be going to the track for a while with broken ribs.
Next I am going to work on an eccentric throttle pulley. The 6" accelerator pedal travel is a pain to deal with.

I am sure it will do better but who knows. The atom can only get into the 11's from what i have read.
The shop was able to get another 50hp out of the engine with the ID1000 but they suggested i to switch to E85 (which i cant do with foam in my fuel cell). Not sure why, i figure the power could go way higher on 91.

E85 has much higher resistance to knock, which allows you run higher boost pressure levels and still lower cylinder temperatures. Basically, a poor man's race fuel...
That's why you were suggested to get the higher level injectors.. But because of the fact you're on a stick engine, you didn't want much more power anyway
re: Turbo Selection Options: B16/Spoon Cross-mission Trans for Flat Torqueband
Yea I think the block is your limitation, im at 410 on 92 but my motor is built. I dont really see the point in E85 since the fuel is not the limiting factor in any of this

Oh I am aware that E85 has a higher resistance to knock... I just cant use it with the foam.
I assume you meant stock engine not stick engine... if so my engine is completely built minus sleeves. Piston, rods, bearings, Arp everything. So there still be some more in it for sure. I see lots of builds that are much higher with less of an engine build
I also think I am only running 14 lbs of boost which is also low.
